Here's a link to the story of the new DataCenter for the NSA.
( I did notice that the plans are from the Corp of Engineers)

Sgt. - here is a little more on this facility that is just posted today. We all should be very concerned about this kind of expense, and the kind of collected information on us and the world here. I put the NSA in the same category as the IRS - Way to big for their britches and not nearly as necessary as they think, and blowing the Constitution as they go, happily spending our tax payer money.
What they are building is totally unnecessary!!!!!!!!!
The NSA's New Spy Facilities are 7 Times Bigger Than the Pentagon
He works at one of the three-letter intelligence agencies and oversees construction of a $1.2 billion surveillance data center in Utah that is 15 times the size of MetLife Stadium, home to the New York Giants and Jets. Long Island native Harvey Davis, a top National Security Agency official, needs that commanding presence. His role is to supervise infrastructure construction worldwide for NSA, which is part of the Defense Department. That involves tending to logistics, military installations, as well as power, space and cooling for all NSA data centers.

That is why the internet has slowed to a crawl. Their looking at everything coming across the global net. That was what was going on with those 4 cable cuts in the trans-atlantic data lines running to europe 5 or so years ago.
Did you know I posted something before snowden dropped his bombshell. Clapper was asked and he told a congressional hearing, NO, the NSA is not spying on americans. Then snowden comes on and the reality of the NSA becomes, well, reality.
So Clapper lied to congress and why isn't he brought up on lying to congress.
Anyone recall 2011 when the FBI reported they set up DNS servers to track internet traffic for a parasitic viral in the wild trojan. Thats when I really noticed the internet slowed to a crawl. Its still slow and crawling cause they have it under scrutiny to this day and days to come.
As a matter of fact if you didn't visit an FBI URL to check if your computer was infected by July 2012 they were going to knock you off the net, if they detected your PC was infected. Do you get that. They have the ability to knock your computer of the internet. They came right out and said that. So they have control of the internet and your computer whether you wanna believe that or not.
Cool Thanks Sarg Can add that to the others
We posted the one in Fort Gordon way back in 2008
New NSA Facility

Amid Data Controversy, NSA Builds Its Biggest Data FarmQuoteThe estimated power of those computing resources in Utah is so massive it requires use of a little-known unit of storage space: the zettabyte. Cisco quantifies a zettabyte as the amount of data that would fill 250 billion DVDs.
The NSA's Utah Data Center will be able to handle and process five zettabytes of data, according to William Binney, a former NSA technical director turned whistleblower. Binney's calculation is an estimate. An NSA spokeswoman says the actual data capacity of the center is classified.
"They would have plenty of space with five zettabytes to store at least something on the order of 100 years worth of the worldwide communications, phones and emails and stuff like that," Binney asserts, "and then have plenty of space left over to do any kind of parallel processing to try to break codes."NSA does provide some measure of the computing power at its new data farm in Utah. It requires 65 megawatts of power, enough for 65,000 homes. It also has its own power substation. In fact, Davis of the NSA says, the availability and relatively low cost of power put Utah at the top of the list for the center.
That much power generates so much heat that the computers will fry without 1.5 million gallons of cooling water a day.
The NSA has another top-secret intelligence center in Utah where analysts, including former Mormon missionaries with extensive foreign language skills, translate communications intercepted by the agency.
But the new center will not need analysts.
"When [an] analyst sits in front of their computer and does their work, they don't particularly care from whence the data came," Davis says. "As long as the data finds its way into the network, people who do the analytical work do not have to be geographically in the same place."
So the Utah center will employ about 100 technicians to keep the power and water flowing and the computers and other equipment humming. The NSA and the University of Utah have developed a certificate program to train data farm technicians.
The maintenance costs of the center are pegged at $20 million a year, according to Davis.
Despite its capacity, the Utah center does not satisfy NSA's data demands. Last month, the agency broke ground on its next data farm at its headquarters at Ft. Meade, Md. But that facility will be only two-thirds the size of the mega-complex in Utah.

It could do code breaking and maybe a little insider trading perhaps? :P
so the next time our gov says conserve electricity to prevent brownouts .they arent talking about themselves.
Thanks for those co-ordinates!
Missiles on the way!
