New AI Data Center Is So Huge That It’ll Generate the Heat of 23 Atomic Bombs Every Single Day

A proposed $70 billion AI data center in Alberta, backed by Kevin O'Leary, will emit heat equivalent to 23 Hiroshima atomic bombs daily, raising environmental concerns. The facility will generate 16-18 gigawatts of thermal energy from on-site natural gas power, potentially becoming the largest single-site heat source globally.
