I hope it stays decommissioned. We're burning up the planet too fast already, and old computers tend to be far less efficient than modern ones.
Pop up a solar farm and you are good to go, baby!
Yeah just need 10Mw+ of solar and like 40mwh of batteries to power it 24/7
So just the 10 million dollar solar farm? easy peasy
Plus the batteries, unless you only want to run the thing while the sun is up
Yeah, I saw the 4Mil BTU on another page, that's a lot of heat output
