Shell pre-pays for a data center's power output, letting it buy in bulk at lower rates like Costco toilet paper. The data center currently uses only 2 megawatts on the open market, which limits its negotiating power without Shell's commitment.
Let me share it. It's really cute.
I.
Wonder mangoes, who used to climb the.
Very first wild flamingo I've ever seen?
Yeah. So what I'm understanding with, with what's going on with John and, and our data center down there. Is that the, the power company, the power source that they have on site, Shell can promise to use all the power from there and pay for all that power ahead of time, which then gives. Gives our data center better rates.
Nice.
Right? And so right now they're in the open energy market and they're only able to consume 2 megawatt. And so, you know, like, if you go to Costco and try to buy two rolls of toilet paper, they're not going to give you the discount for, you know, as far as, like, if you bought the pallet, when you buy the pallet of toilet paper, that's how you get it for, for 2 cents a roll.
Right.
Right. But if you just went in there to buy two rolls, they're like, nope, sorry, I can't do it. You got to go shopping at Walmart and get two rolls at Walmart for two bucks a piece. Right, Right. So that's kind of how this is working with the power, is that they have to get Shell to buy the pallet so that they can get the two rolls for two cents a piece. We are doing so much crazy stuff right now.
I was trying to join hours so that I could share the video with Flamingo.
