| Or it's two 300kW fast EV chargers working together. A typical home just consumes rather little energy, now that LED lighting and heat pump cooling / heating became the norm. |

| ▲ | delusional 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I think the above commentor is reflecting on the total energy use from having a 600KW load running 24/7. I suppose the more interesting observation is the 14 MWh of daily consumption, enough to charge 100 Rivians every day. | |

We're not all solidly middle-class (especially in Southern and Eastern Europe) and as such we cannot afford those heat pumps. But we'll have to eat the increased energy costs brought by insane server configurations like the ones from the article, so, yeey!!! | |

| ▲ | nine_k 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I noticed that Southern Europe often basically ignores both heating and cooling, especially close to the warm sea. But with heat pumps becoming normal in the North and in the US, they become mass-produced, and the prices fall. Same has happened to LED lamps. |

| > at full load (3kw) Do you live in a deprived rural village in a very poor country? Because you can't even run a heater and the oven with 3kW. |

| Your hometown also has public lightning, water pumps, and probably some other stuff. |

| That’s surprising, 200 amp 240v service is pretty common in the US. |
