I tend to disagree. That load IS serving a purpose, whether you agree with that purpose or not doesn't mean it's a "waste"... it's also a very easy load manage too since servers are typically a very flat load and run 24/7.

What a typical clickbait title too...could have said 7 GW but of course not, why say that when you can fear monger with "nuclear power plant"
