@calestous originally by Facebook's press release and was just repeated by @paintsandsings @motherboard this doesn't absolve responsibility
@calestous @paintsandsings @motherboard power consumed by new data center is 100% offset by wind power. But this isn't even accurate
@calestous @paintsandsings @motherboard wind in Texas has average capacity factors in 20% range so being generous say 25%.
@calestous @paintsandsings @motherboard here is the factual headline: One quarter of power consumed by new data center offset by wind energy
@calestous @paintsandsings @motherboard do you see why that headline bothered me so much. Best I can say is sloppy journalism.
@cal_abel I was just pointing out that @paintsandsings didn't write but @motherboard did
.@calestous ahh, thank you for the clarification
.@paintsandsings my apologies
.@motherboard you practiced bad journalism, shame on you.
@cal_abel @calestous @paintsandsings @motherboard I'll be impressed when a large data center buys a SMR for a 24/7 supply of CO2 free power.
