A 70-rack-a-day Vera Rubin rollout would still add 14 MW of demand daily

Vera Rubin rack deployment at 70 a day would still imply massive power demand
The post estimates that even “only” 70 Vera Rubin racks per day would translate into about 14 MW per day, or roughly 5 GW per year.
It then pushes the thought experiment further: at 1,000 racks per day, the implied power demand would be around 200 MW per day, or 73 GW per year—far beyond current U.S. annual power additions.
