but first is peak power, not waste energy, we're still missing the SI estimated number of Wh wasted per day
True, yeah. It should be Wh, not just Watts. I think most data centers are designed to run 24/7 though, so the Wh might be close to the same as peak.
If they can tell us how many "atom bombs" per day it takes to power it, at least we could figure it out!
