[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notice there aren't many on the Maryland side. One fo the reasons is zoning. Datacenters aren't all bad. They provide very high-paying jobs (IT engineers) and they need people 24/7 so it's steady work. But, it only takes a few to man a datacenter with the footprint of a small shopping mall.[/quote] Loudoun County has approved around 43 million sq feet, PWC has approved over 80 million Sq feet. Just for perspective the amount of electricity required to power these data centers is likely around 18,000+ Megawatts. The Lake Anna nuclear plant has a generation capacity of 1,860MW. So Virginia needs the equivalent of 9.6 nuclear power plants to supply the electricity for all of the approved data centers in just two counties. [/quote]
