There’s one of these in my small town (paducah ky) I see the workers out in parking lot quite a bit....they look like all Chinese. The scary thing is that they’re located near a major substaiton which makes me nervous as far sabotage goes.

Yeh, Iceland is a good spot for them; plenty of thermal power, water, cold temp.

One set up shop in a small coastal Alaska town with a power plant once used for the cannery. He occupied that building and is happy to use the hydro power.
