Looking up a nuclear plant near me, the sustained power output is about a gigawatt.

Roughly looking up peak theoretical solar for a farm that could sit in the same footprint, it touches *maybe* 500 MW under impossibly ideal conditions.

Power density story is rough.

Further, the latitude causes some challenges seasonally for solar.

Why do you say union, when the correct term is worker?
The union was not willing to accept wage cuts
The workers vote what the union has to do, and then the union is their proxy towards the company.

that could have saved their jobs
What is the point of having a job, when you can not live from the wage? Oh ... I forgot, it is for paying the gasoline to ride to the second job and home.

You some pretty stupid ideas about "what the job of a union" is.

Amusing reasoning.
I hope you never help someone to commit a fraud/crime.

No, I did not kill him! I only drove the killer to the spot of the crime!
No, I did not kill him! I only buried the corpse! He was dead already! I swear!

Note, idiot: if you had some morals you would know what is right and what is wrong. For idiots like you the rest of mankind made laws. If you fail to read them when in doubt about what is right and what is wrong: your problem.

That makes the narrative that data-centers are 'water hungry' very effective at causing unrest.

Which is probably why that narrative gets pushed so hard. You CAN build a datacentre with evaporative cooling and that will use a lot of water. You can also build one with a closed loop and radiators that doesn't use any water except for the original fill. You can even build one that's air cooled and doesn't use any water at all.

All of those options also apply to anything else that needs to be cooled, which is pretty much everything.

I guess it was even more simple and primitive: the same drive was used by several cheaters, handed to them by the guy providing the data. And the professor simply realized: he had seen this and that before or the files were even named Student_surname_student_given_name.pdf or student_id.pdf, and there were several of them.

How can you tell how many red balls there are in the bin if you don't properly sample its contents?

Because I told you:

"a bin full of blue balls with one red ball in it"

If we dropped 8% of a system's capabilities each revision cycle, pretty soon there wouldn't be much left.

The argument that changes to support the majority use case compromise important minority ones is a reasonable one. You didn't make that argument. In what I presume was your effort to be pithy your brain cast "most" to "all" and you provided a single counterexample.
