Audio narration · Coming soon

An analysis by a Utah State University physicist indicates that the proposed Wonder Valley data centre in northwestern Alberta would emit heat waste equivalent to 23 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs each day. This finding has prompted calls from the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation for a comprehensive environmental impact assessment of the project. The data centre's potential environmental effects raise significant concerns about its impact on the boreal forest ecosystem.
