I wonder if water / cooling is less of an issue in Canada.
The issue is the rush to build driving acceptance of designs that are wasteful. Building for efficiency is the real solution, but that takes time none of the people putting money into this want to spend waiting for things to be done right. Same reason you won’t see them being built in the far North; existing access to energy and data transmission infrastructure and available labour to get things done in a hurry are what wins out.
Are you serious??? Our planet is on fire, dear. WATER IS AN ISSUE!!
Do you understand how the water is being used?
It probably is, until it isn’t
I was thinking why don’t they put them all up north where nobody can live and it’s cold.
Because, not profitable for oligarchs.
Forgot that logic is never in the picture when those numpties are around.
Because they need people is needed to run it and the people smart enough arent going to go in the middle of no where to work.
