You think tech-bro’s and corporations give a fuck about the planet?
Why do 7000+ “data centers” exist? This is entirely unnecessary and incompatible with human life. We better decide what needs water more and act accordingly.
I’ve run and used some data centers and most are built very poorly no matter the size of the company that runs them
One of our data centers overheated and it took thirty minutes and untold amounts of damages before somebody thought to open the doors. It was snowing outside. Even when you build in the right climate, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll be advantageous.
It’s almost like the technology and the economics driving it don’t follow logic.
We should build more in water rich and climate neutral Arizona. That’s the most efficient place.
Hair brained short term tax incentives provided by sell out politicians make the investment model make sense despite the clearly Ludacris common sense analysis
There are other compelling reasons to host data centers locally, such as performance (speed and latency), security, and legal compliance.
One toasted itself near Chicago and the entirety of the CME COMEX went down. It also went down during a very cold day. Cooling these will be a huge energy sink.
What happened to undersea data centres? Didn’t Microsoft trial this a few years ago?
I’d think that if your facility is located where the heat cannot be recovered by district heating, utilising the sea might make more sense.
Might be a problem with PCI compliance, perhaps..
