Re: NSA plans massive, 65MW, $2bn data center in Utah That's enough to power 100,000 or so homes. That's serious power to feed serious equipment. I think Cudni was right when they said "All of it". |

Anyone know if this will this be underground? I wouldn't think they would build something of this nature above ground..but putting it below ground would cost some major bucks for 120acres of space. |

Another thing is this will not be the only one going in as I have seen a few news articles say one will be built down in San Antonio, Texas but no details how big that one might be.

You'd think so, and is probably going to be used by the military as well for the cyber warfare project. I would imagine they'd want it safe from a nuclear strike as well. |

Sure 120 acres two major power connects who knows how many internet connections even if most are fiber someone will bring in copper for something. One nice big electromagnetic pulse will find the design flaw where ever it is. |
