its a shame the chinese communists have succeeded with demonizing data centers. these data centers are the least intrusive of factories compared to say, cememt factories or steel factories or auto factories or you name it factories.
these data centers would have brought needed revenue to many rural counties across the usa and broadly distributed their wealth creation abilities.
that said there are millions of square miles of empty federal lands in deserts across the usa. many have brackish water aquifers. it takes about a year to set up 1.5 square miles of solar panels in these deserts to power a gigawatt size datacenters.
all of data centers on these federal lands could be fast tracked if there were any interest in doing so.
as far as I can tell, there is no interest in doing so.
nor does there seem to be any interest in uppping the price data centers are willing to pay to locals to site their data centers in rural counties.
WHEN YOU LIVE RURAL ON A WELL ON AN AQUIFER-—YOU CAN HAVE AN OPINION......
UNTIL THEN-—YOU ARE SORELY OUT OF TOUCH
