<p>Why do you think it's a bad definition?<p>Not for fridges, I think that was a bad example. But it seems accurate at the level of geopolitics, where e.g. Iran shows it controls Hormuz by closing it with mines and other weaponry.</p>

Why is that an issue?</p>

<p>> A 100MW datacenter will emit 1.5 million tons of CO2 over a 5 year lifetime (given average USA energy sources). In contrast, 10 Starship launches (~1,000 tons to orbit) will emit no more than 40,000 tons of CO2.<p>How did you come to 10 launches / 1000 tons as what it takes to launch a 100MW data centre in space?</p>
