Not a big fan of data centers but people and states banning them without exploring the implications beforehand mystifies me and will shock them once they fully realize the reality of that decision. Takes a lot of data storage to keep up with all the apps and data generated by everyday life. I’d have put them under a mountain. Cooling and heating loads are much lower, noise and aesthetics not a factor but politicians want those jobs, but not what comes with. They’ll panic, throw the baby out with the bathwater and set us back 20 years. CNN? Karma lurks. Optical transmission end to end.
