Like they could cool their shit, and desalinate water with the waste heat. Provide water to dry areas. Like Baja or Texas. Bonus points if they could run off renewables. Seems like a win win

    Detroit is still colder than the Southern US, where many of these data centers are currently being built. Lots of empty land in northern Wyoming and Idaho as well.

      Central/south Idaho is where the land is, a lot of it is volcanic rock, and the north is forest/mountains all day, so… less ideal than you might think.

      Also no real internet trunks go through the area, so you’d have that to fix too.
