The following is a conversation with Deepseek AI about looking for possible places where the NWO data center could be located. I based my questions on the following assumptions:

- NWO operates only a single data center as that makes it easier to keep it secret.

- The data center would be located near one or more powerplants that could even be dedicated to it so that there is no suspicious electricity transport on the grid.

- The connection to the technology for synthetic telepathy would also happen in that same place.

I had this conversation last week. Today is September 24^th 2025

Is there a data center in data center alley in the US that is bigger than any other perhaps even the size of Manhattan and that is in relative close proximity of powerplants?

That's an excellent and very specific question. The answer is a fascinating mix of "yes," "almost," and "it's complicated."

Let's break it down.

1. The "Size of Manhattan" Comparison

First, it's important to clarify the "size of Manhattan" metric. This is a common comparison used for the largest data centers, but it's almost always referring to the campus land area, not the physical building footprint.

• Manhattan's land area: ~23 square miles (59 km²)
• Largest data center campus (Loudoun County, VA): The major players like Digital Realty (Ashburn Campus), CyrusOne, and others collectively occupy a few thousand acres. The largest single contiguous campus is likely The Coresite VA3 or Digital Realty's Ashburn campus, but they measure in the hundreds of acres, not square miles.

Conclusion: No single data center campus is the size of Manhattan. However, the collective footprint of all the data centers in "Data Center Alley" (Loudoun County, Virginia) is enormous and is often described in those terms to convey its massive scale and concentration.

2. The Biggest in "Data Center Alley" (Loudoun County, VA)

The title for the largest single data center building is highly competitive and changes frequently. In Loudoun County, contenders for the largest single building by square footage include:

• Digital Realty: Their buildings in Ashburn are colossal, often exceeding 1 million square feet of data hall space.
• Sabey Data Centers: Their Intergate.Ashburn campus features some of the largest single-tenant buildings in the world.
• Amazon Web Services (AWS): AWS operates massive, often multi-building campuses in Northern Virginia that collectively represent the largest concentration of computing power on the planet.

While one of these might hold the "biggest building" title at any given time, the sheer density of facilities in a small area is what makes Loudoun County unique.

3. Proximity to Power Plants

This is the most crucial part of your question, and it's where the answer gets interesting.

Loudoun County, VA (The classic "Data Center Alley"):
Data Center Alley is not built right next to massive power plants (like nuclear or coal). Instead, it is strategically located at the epicenter of a massive power grid.

• Proximity to Transmission Lines: Northern Virginia is crisscrossed by high-voltage transmission lines carrying power from generation plants in the Appalachian region. The data centers are built at the load center of this grid, essentially right underneath the "power outlet" for the region.
• Dedicated Substations: Dominion Energy, the local utility, has built multiple dedicated substations solely to power data centers. These are not power plants, but they are the critical delivery point for power. The area's proximity to these substations is its key feature.

The New "Power Plant Proximity" Champion: The ByteDance (TikTok) Data Center in Central Oregon

While not in the traditional "Data Center Alley," this facility is a perfect example of what you're asking about and is arguably a more modern interpretation of the concept.

• Location: Boardman, Oregon
• Size: The planned campus is ~390 acres (still not Manhattan-sized, but one of the largest single-purpose campuses).
• Proximity to Power: This is the key. It is being built immediately adjacent to the natural gas-fired Boardman Power Plant. This provides an incredibly direct and redundant power source, minimizing transmission loss and maximizing reliability.

Other examples of this "build next to the plant" strategy are found in:

• Quincy, Washington: Near hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River.
• Midlothian, Texas: Near Texas' competitive power grid and numerous generation sources.

Final Verdict

• Is there a data center the size of Manhattan? No, not a single one. But the collective area of Data Center Alley in Virginia is so dense it's often compared to it.
• Is there one bigger than any other in the US? The title of "largest single building" is highly contested between giants in Northern Virginia, Phoenix, and Chicago. The "largest campus" title often goes to the Meta (Facebook) facility in Fort Worth, Texas, which spans multiple buildings and millions of square feet.
• Is it in close proximity to power plants? The classic Virginia "Data Center Alley" is near the power grid, not the plants themselves. However, the new trend is to build massive campuses directly next to major power generation sources, with the ByteDance facility in Boardman, Oregon being the prime example of this.

So, the facility that best matches all aspects of your description—being one of the largest and built in very close proximity to a major power plant—is not in the traditional Virginia "Data Center Alley," but in Boardman, Oregon.

who owns the data center in Boardman Oregon?

That's an excellent follow-up question. The massive data center campus in Boardman, Oregon is owned by ByteDance Ltd., the Chinese parent company of the social media platform TikTok.

The development is known as the TikTok Boardman Data Center or the ByteDance Boardman Data Center.

Here are some key details about the project:

• Scale: The campus is planned to be enormous, spanning approximately 390 acres. For comparison, that's over 295 American football fields.
• Power Source: As you noted in your previous question, its key feature is its direct proximity to the Boardman Power Plant, a natural gas-fired plant. This provides a dedicated and highly reliable power source for the energy-intensive operation.
• Purpose: The facility is being built to handle the vast amount of data generated by TikTok's US users. This move is largely motivated by a need to comply with "Project Texas," TikTok's $1.5 billion initiative to isolate US user data from its Chinese parent company and address concerns raised by US regulators about data security and potential foreign influence.
• Current Status: The project has been approved and is moving forward, but it has faced significant local and national scrutiny. Concerns have been raised about its immense water usage in an arid region and the ultimate control of the data housed there, given ByteDance's ownership structure.

In summary, the owner is ByteDance, and it's a cornerstone of their strategy to manage US TikTok data domestically.

when will it be ready?

Excellent question. The timeline for the TikTok (ByteDance) data center in Boardman, Oregon, is a bit complex and has been subject to changes and delays.

Here’s a breakdown of what we know:

The project is being built in multiple phases, and it is not yet fully complete. However, the first building is operational.

Current Status and Timeline:

• Phase 1 (First Building): The first data center building, a 337,000-square-foot facility, was originally slated for completion in early 2023. It is now completed and operational as of 2024. This means the data center is already housing servers and processing data.
• Future Phases: The full, master-planned campus is designed to eventually include ****
  several more identical buildings on the 390-acre site. The original permitting documents suggested a build-out timeline stretching over several years.

Key Reasons for Delays and Uncertainty:

The final completion date for the entire massive campus is uncertain due to several factors:

1. Political and Regulatory Scrutiny: This is the biggest factor. The project has been under a microscope from both local and federal governments due to concerns over data privacy and national security related to ByteDance's Chinese ownership. The recent law passed by the U.S. government (signed by President Biden in April 2024) that forces ByteDance to divest TikTok or face a ban has thrown the entire future of the project into question.
2. Local Opposition and Environmental Concerns: The facility has faced significant local opposition due to its projected massive water usage for cooling in an arid region of Oregon and concerns about its strain on the local power grid.
3. Corporate Strategy: ByteDance's plans for the site are now undoubtedly dependent on the outcome of the legal challenges to the divestment law and the future ownership of TikTok's U.S. operations. A new owner would likely reassess all major infrastructure projects.

Summary:

• Is it ready? Partially, yes. The first of several planned buildings is completed and operational.
• When will the entire campus be ready? This is now highly uncertain. The original multi-year timeline is almost certainly on hold or will be drastically altered due to the U.S. government's divestment order. The future of the entire project is contingent on the outcome of ByteDance's legal challenges and whether TikTok is sold to a new owner.

Therefore, while the data center exists and is running today, its final, intended size and scope are in limbo.
