The Las Vegas Sphere, an impressive high-tech entertainment structure, consumes up to 28 megawatts of energy at its peak. To put this into perspective, a single megawatt is enough to power approximately 750 homes in the Nevada/California region.
It’s interesting to note how luxury entertainment, like the Sphere, uses as much energy as large Bitcoin operations but faces far less criticism. This difference in perception says a lot about how we prioritize and value different types of technology.
