West Virginia's estimated environmental footprint
Summed across West Virginia's 2 mapped facilities (~10 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.
