@Waffloid This sounds super damning. If it was slated to be ~850 meg that would be one issue, but also having half the expected budget and gigantic cooling/safety concerns makes me think this isn't really happening.

that's like at least one nuclear reactor's worth of power

Why would he lie? What incentive does he have to lie?

I think he’s referring to Omniva, here’s a good article

@SG does 864 MW count as “gigawatt-class”

Does it matter if the company building it refers to it as gigawatt class

@ahalekelly Tough one. Probably, I'd say... To one sig fig, it's a GW....
