I read elsewhere that we're talking about 160MW, that's 1.4 GWh -- if it would run at peak power all year long.
The netherlands uses about a thousand TWh of energy in a year. (Electricity or other energy doesn't really matter because it's all going to have to come from renewables in the end anyhow.)
That's not 10%, not 1%, not 0.1%, not 0.01%, not 0.001% but 0.0001%.
Don't want to defend facebook but let's keep at least keep the order of magnitude correct
