Of course they’re not using them: have you seen what Telsa charges for their solar tiles? Tesla can’t afford that.
I know the character and the game, but I don’t get what this is supposed to convey as a comment.
BJ Blazkowicz hates Nazis. Musk is a Nazi/Fachist.
How is more economical to pay for a build for a fossil fuel than to sell to yourself for a renewable.
New levels of stupid.
Specifically it’s to make it happen faster, these have less lead time.
Uh solar panels cost a bunch of money to make and they take a ton of space, which means buying extra land
Solar panels are cheap these days and end up paying for themselves in cost savings. Especially when you own the factory that makes them.
It’s also good advertising. “We’ve powered this data centre with our solar panels, think of what it could power for you”.
They make them? They would likely have the lowest price per kwh achieveable in history given their size and current costs.
The absolute size of their premises is also ridiculous.
There is no way this is not a bad decision or else there is a political apect.
The Republican party is a religion with two and only two commandments: Racism and fossil fuels.
They literally own a company that makes them, can’t get cheaper than that.
They’re doing this as a stunt for some stupid reason.
I dislike the framing of „natural“ gas. They‘re using fossil fuels.
The fossil fuel (just like crude oil) was formed via natural processes, so it’s accurate.
I get what you’re saying though. It makes it sound happy and safe to use.
I love being in Canada and they routinely use terms like “clean natural gas”. Like wut?
It’s only clean when you compare it to the fossil fuel alternatives it replaces like coal.
In case you’re unaware, that’s literally why they took to calling it that.
Technically correct, easiest to market back when people were first starting to have doubts about setting stuff we found underground on fire.
Using the word “natural” was very much a deliberate choice.
The term was useful back when we used coal gas. It stopped being useful 100 years ago.
Maybe say methane.
Oh Jesus Christ.
This guy is just-- Not one word this guy (You know who!) says is true.
Nothing he’s ever said is true.
We’ll turn this into the worlds biggest racquetball facility before Elon ever makes it to mars.
Can we not legitimize these projects that will never fucking happen by reporting on them. I know the tech news places need clicks but this is not based in reality. My space tech proposal is that we all fart into jars and send the full jars to space-x for tax credits, where pure methane gas will produced. The rockets will have a pressurized 60KM long line attached to provide natural gas as a booster fuel, then detached to be caught an aircraft carrier. This will save big $$$.
Are you seeking investors?
Yes. You will have to buy in with Worldcoin.
Sorry, I only hold safemoons and assorted memecoins named after Musk and Trump
Back up proposal- we only send lactose intolerant astronauts, and somehow get dairy cows on the moon fulltime.
You would get more methane from the cows than humans. More cows?
A terafab for the petacunt.
