I know of no law that would force power companies to provide power to residences before power to data centers. So the massive one that has been approved in Williston is very interesting in that respect. During one public hearing they had an artist rendering of the facility. There were a couple areas that had all kinds of little square specs on the rendering. They were setup on basically a grid pattern.  Someone asked what on were those. Well the answer was standby generators. When quizzed further they were all cat 3512 industrial engines with 1.2 megawatt gen’s on them. These are the same setups used to run oil rigs and the rigs have three of these. The rendering shows something like 240 of these setups.  It was also acknowledge they would test run these once a month.  I actually worked on these exact units for several years so I’m extremely knowledgeable on these. When the panel was quizzed about the noise of the testing they said oh we have that resolved. They will only be able to run them on the day we do the monthly testing of the civil defense sirens lol. Can’t make this shit up. Of course the panel, because they have zero knowledge, didn’t dig into the fact they take 30-45 minutes of warmup time before you could even put one inline to test the gen output.  I don’t know if any of you have any experience being close to one of these while running but the sound is immense but the vibration 240 of these would put out would blow your mind. It would be like a train driving through your living room.  So this is just an example why you can’t have political approving these things. They have zero knowledge of anything to do with them. I have little doubt there will be an initiated measure to end these centers and they will be finished.</p></blockquote><p></p>
