Three times the size of the largest power station in Australia, Eraring at 2880 MW (Loy Yang in Victoria is two power stations, not one).
This data centre features a 9.2 gigawatt fossil fuel power station
Annually it'll pump out around 30 MTCO2-e. Same as
- 8 coal plants
- 9.2 million cars
- Destroying 20 million hectares of forest
- Half a percent of America's total national emissions

Once more for beginners: This is hard work for a coal-fired unit, even one specifically designed for it, as the old Toshiba units at Eraring were (unusually). Fatigue-prone high pressure special steel boiler tubes heating up and cooling down every day.

Eraring ash dam could probably contain most of it www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03...
Coal ash has become one of Australia's biggest waste problems — and a solution is being ignored
It makes up 20 per cent of all waste in Australia, and can be used to make high-quality and efficient concrete. So why is coal ash being dumped in toxic waste dams, and not being recycled?
