Rip apart the data centres infrastructure and turn them into massive-scale sodium battery storage systems and cover the facility in solar and wind turbines as a gen-bat system
It’s not about the energy, it’s about actually having the gear installed for people to plug into. DC fast chargers are something like $50k to $100k each, and they need big fat grid connections or buffer batteries. Especially if there’s a few of them next to each other.
Which means they will be running diesel generators as a “backup”.
Tell that to your Dodge RAM driving mate who uses ChatGTP to make all
His decisions for him every day. The reason diesel is so expensive is because of the Data Centres.
Yeah, but no problems with datacenters somehow?

Do that same with parliament house
Add Reggie’s to the list. That guy is a dick.
How many new datacentres are in Australia though? I didn’t think there were many new ones being built.
Well yea, 100GW to one building is way easier then pulling 200kW at 30 different Coles shops in Vic and qld.
/s
To be honest you’re right, and globally if the data centre is built they’re having delays with getting hooked up.
