The Las Vegas Sphere might have an impressive spec sheet, but its energy demands are almost as staggering.

    Still a waste of energy because that could be used for the general grid

      I wouldn’t say entertainment is a waste of energy even if there are nobler uses for the power.

          Here’s a link. You can go inside of it and it’s essentially a huge concert venue. It’s clearly entertainment.

      There wouldn’t be an incentive or the capital necessary to instigate the build out of solar without the sphere. Yes, it would be great if someone did that. But the owners of the sphere specifically have a financial incentive to do so for the sake of lower energy costs. There’s not a lack of land or sun, so whether they do or do not doesn’t amount to a “waste” of energy - anyone else can build out solar production too.

      I saw several concerts there and it was awesome. You want to live a life without anything fun in it?
