Robert Friedland(@robert_ivanhoe):Anthropic plans to build a 2.14 gigawatt data centre in Australia. Using the assumption from Helen Amos at @BMO that 35,000 tonnes of copper goes into each gigawatt of data centre capacity… the copper required for this data centre alone will be approximately 10% of Australia’s annual copper production.
