Grande Prairie, Alberta. This is a city of 70,000 people. The city is home to a highly skilled work force of Oil and gas technicians, Forestry professionals, Electricians, engineers, logistics layout professionals, chemical engineers etc. O'Leary plans to use the regions massive supply of natural gas for power as well as it's skilled trades workforce from Grande Prairie. Grande Prairie has a large airport, a national railyard and depot, two regional hospitals, Diagnostic facilities, a trade and tech college, a vast supply network of services and equipment, construction and engineering firms and a huge serviceable trucking network.
its not out of the question network wise , 2 ms one-way or 4ms RTT isnt much latency - a fiber path along a 4-hour drive would typically result in about 2 ms one-way latency on a 400 Gbps circuit, excluding equipment-related delays.
You are right about this. The basic needs of humans. Food, clothing, shelter, safety and security. This is the winderness with bears, moose, icy roads, and -40⁰ temperatures. Its a life threatening environment. They need to build housing at site and provide for the basic needs of people.
What you talking about?!!! -40 occurred once in 10 years for a week or so!!! There is air port in the city of Grande Prairie with multiple daily flights to Calgary and Edmonton!!! Grande Prairie has multiple world class sport facilities and 1 billion dollars brand new hospital!!! And there are countless amount of software engineers and tech staffing shelves in Vancouvers Walmart as of right now! I am pretty sure they will took the opportunity!!!
@rostyslavkozhushko5841 this isn't an argument, it's a discussion. Yes GP is probably equipped to service the people that currently live there and work there. How many people would this project employ? Temporary and permanent. What I'm talking about is providing for this specialized workforce. Keeping them safe, fed, and housed.
@@Lorifromalberta Half the workers will be trades even once this project is done construction. They will be maintaining the mechanicals in the power plants and data centers. I also know a lot of tech people in Calgary. Most of them are hiking, snowboarding and hunting/fishing on the weekends. People are assuming all tech workers are city dweller type people. Maybe a lot of them are but for the people that arent this job would be a dream job. For housing the other advantage is its cheap to live out there. You can get a 2 bedroom condo for less than $150k. $350k gets you a 2.5 acre property just outside of town that is connected to all the recreational activities where someone could have a home built.
@@rostyslavkozhushko5841 The other thing is people are assuming that all these tech workers want to live in a large city. The people that want to live in a less busy area and be close to nature this job would be a dream job. I see a lot of "tech" people in Calgary that are posting pictures of themselves hiking in the Rockies even during the winter. When they first move they can get into a cheap condo and then after a couple years they would have enough money to buy a home or even buy a property and build a home.
@@pin65371Happy New Year At that cost of housing maybe I should move there :) I hadn't haven't actually looked at the price of land and housing there. No matter where you go in Alberta the drug and alcohol problems are unreal and impact a community. I know city people like to recreate in the snow but there's a big difference when you work in it. Especially with the long hours some of these people work. GP is a nice area but the weather is a real challenge. So is wildlife. It would be good to see this project give people safety and security right in the area so there isn't so much travel required. When people put 100,000 kms on vehicles they are also putting it on themselves. And it would be good to see Canada independent of the US for AI. I hope it goes forward while taking people's day to day lives into consideration not just construction of the project.
Are Canadians or immigrants from India going to be hired as technicians? Musk likes to hire immigrants because they are cheaper, I suppose O’Leary is the same.
@yvonnesmith2335 yes. This is a problem. They are bringing in cheap labour's. This causes unemployment and homelessness for people born in Canada. The other thing is with immigrants they are forced to accept less than ideal working conditions or they are deported.

Cold weather will assist this operation
Grande Prairie will be the city where workers will commute from.
This narration is ignorant
Not that bright

They will do as they are TOLD
He’s also getting thousands of acres of land there too , how I have no clue prob got Danielle to hand over the land
Theft of the land from the people

I hope not as most of them are lazy and does subpar work.
@yvonnesmith2335 yes. This is a problem. They are bringing in cheap labour's. This causes unemployment and homelessness for people born in Canada. The other thing is with immigrants they are forced to accept less than ideal working conditions or they are deported.
@Grabbinggears I don't know if they are lazy, but they are taking jobs Canadians need for survival.
