Never mind that the electric power grid can't support this monster project, right?

Of course it can. The neighboring substation is probably why they picked the site.

You really think someone is going to build a data center that can't reliably operate?

^^^ This person literally thinks electricity is created at substations ^^^

Substation capacity is usually the limiting factor, not generation. Do you understand how the grid works?

Yes. I understand how the grid works.

You, on the other hand, clearly DO NOT.

Better get off your computer. You need to save energy, after all. If only electrons were as plentiful in MoCo as they are in Reston.

How long before Andrew Friedson proposes a tax abatement for the data center so he can try to take credit for it being built?

At the old Dickerson power plant site.

If the site was suitable for a coal power plant, how is it unsuitable for a data center?

I am sure someone has their eye on some sweet, sweet Superfund grants that they will use to produce "affordable" housing or some public park no one will go near.

I'm sure people would love to live next to the incinerator.

They do in Alexandria.

NP. The people in Alexandria love to live next to the incinerator? What?

There used to be nothing next to the old Covanta facility on Eisenhower except a shooting range for the police department. Mysteriously, several housing developments spring up because people love living next to shooting ranges and dumps. Apparently.
