Not big enough. These things are massive.
Higher risk in cities around other people and buildings due to fire and vandalism.

Yep. Farmers are being offered more than they would make from farming it.


10x comp price per acre is pretty hard to turn down, especially if you're old enough to see retirement on the horizon.

Why don't you research the topic and form your own opinion instead of listening to the corrupt media. bah-bah

Because local race hustlers aren't getting any gibbenz out of data centers, so they protest them away.

Inadequate infrastructure. A very large shopping mall needs about 15 MW. A hyperscale data center needs about 100 MW.

These were the original "data centers."


I see the connect, but it's really not.

The Mechanical, Electrical and plumbing systems alone are exponentially bigger than just to condition and maintain a building for people to work in. Servers, and that many, would be more than likely too heavy for each floor plate to have.

Would be cool if they could do it that way and alleviate all the issues.

If you're against data centers, quit using them.


I don't use data centers for anything. I don't understand why they need to be built. We should just ban them.

Inadequate information. There very well may be adequate transmission capacity nearby.

Work better up north where it is cold. Need acreage. North Dakota is perfect …

Oh, I wasn't trying to argue or assert that this idea would be a "solution" to the current situation. More just that we have always had something at least somewhat similar in city centers pretty much everywhere.
