Physicist Claims O’Leary Data Center Releases Energy of 23 Atomic Bombs Daily
Robert Davies, a physicist representing the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, has submitted an assessment claiming the proposed O’Leary Digital Wonder Valley data center in Alberta would release thermal energy equivalent to 23 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs daily. The report supports the Indigenous group’s legal challenge against the $70 billion project, arguing that existing environmental regulations are fundamentally unsuited for developments of this scale.
