Kentucky's estimated environmental footprint
Summed across Kentucky's 2 mapped facilities (~45 MW of representative IT draw), these are order-of-magnitude estimates — modelled from each facility's type and US grid/water averages, not metered readings.
Carbon assumes the US grid average of 384 gCO₂/kWh; water uses a 1.8 L/kWh on-site (and 9.4 L/kWh all-in) water-usage-effectiveness reference. Hyperscale campuses on cleaner or dirtier regional grids will vary widely.

Are these Kentucky energy and carbon figures measured?
No — energy, cost, and carbon are order-of-magnitude estimates derived from each facility's type and the regional electricity grid, not metered readings. They are for awareness and comparison, with data sources cited on the map.
What is the environmental impact of data centers in Kentucky?
Combined, Kentucky's 2 mapped facilities draw an estimated 0.3 TWh of electricity a year — roughly the yearly power of 29,833 homes — emitting about 123,621 metric tons of CO₂ and using on the order of 153 million gallons of cooling water (≈799 million gallons including upstream power generation). These are order-of-magnitude estimates from facility type and US grid/water averages, not metered readings.
