If you are reading some of the responses in this thread and reading the flock camera thread and still think this is all fine and dandy. Good on you. Carry on.
Funny skins mentions china multiple times. Many people think that is exactly where we are headed and are not that far from the surveillance state.
See that's it, they need all these data centers to crunch the FLOCK data, it's important you know so they can sell more shoes, lawn equipment, wine and other items!

My Spidey Sense tells me these two threads could tie together nicely… or at least run very parallel to one another.
Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around. — — — — — — — — — — — — God bless America.

There are plenty of people who believe that is exactly what these data centers are being built for.

What is the operating temp of those chips?
Evaporative cooling will work in dry, hot environments.
Radiant cooling doesn’t.
Maybe some kind of thermal banking could work.
Might be able to reuse water in a sort of evaporative cooling, but I’ve never heard of it being done.

In my area, this is a huge issue. A data center was recently rebuffed, largely because the local government officials were "fast tracking" it with no real disclosures, bypassing the zoning/land use permitting processes, and generally telling everyone not to bother their pretty little heads about complicated, big boy things.
The predictable result, given the pre-existing (justified) distrust of our local county government, was a veritable uprising against the data center.
It was slated to go into a beatific, parklike area, not the commercially zoned area, and no one ever made clear what the water and electricity usages would be, potential environmental impact, or how big their tax breaks could be.
It was a blueprint of how to do everything wrong. Frankly, a data center could probably be good for our county, if placed in the proper location. It's going to be a while before anyone is willing to broach that possiblity again, though.
Exactly this. A town close to me is having this very issue where there were NDA’s signed, it was hush hush, and the area is relatively affluent, surrounded by a type of marshland/woods- the reason people choose to move there these days - pretty much living in nature where you have to look to see your neighbor through the trees.
They have several commercially zoned industrial parks in the area where this type of facility would be more appropriate. Up here, there’s tons of tree huggers and nature focused people. I’m surprised whoever is in charge of the project didn’t “read the room”.

I think it isn’t so different from a lot of other projects. The people building them want to build the project that best meets their goals as cheaply and quickly as possible. It is cheaper and quicker to buy off politicians than to convince the public. Building your project as infil, though it probably would be better for the community, means you have more neighbors to be pissed off and fight your project. Finding one (or a few) farmer(s) that you can buy out at a premium may be quicker and easier too. Pristine, untouched land? Not a lot of nearby neighbors to fight the project usually.
I’m not pro data center or anti data center, but I recognize that if the folks building the projects and the folks fighting them would work together to figure how to get the projects done with the least impact we’d probably all be happier. Instead, the anti folks just want to kill the project and the pro fooks are focused on beating the antis however they have to. Oh well, at least it gives us some drama to watch.
