Tech Crunch: Your AI tools run on fracked gas and bulldozed Texas land
The project, dubbed Horizon, will produce two gigawatts of computing power.
That’s equivalent to the Hoover Dam’s entire electric capacity, except instead of
harnessing the Colorado River, it’s burning fracked gas. Poolside is developing the
facility with CoreWeave, a cloud computing company that rents out access to Nvidia AI chips
and that’s supplying access to more than 40,000 of them. The Journal calls it an “energy
Wild West,” which seems apt.
