    Nope. A couple of them have been built and they’re just sitting there unpowered

    Imagine you had infinite money and no consequences

    I mean you could like— build entire city size data centers right?

    But this infinite money goes away if you’re not building them

    So your choices are to build something that you don’t need or to have no money

    You see, humans were not very evolved or adapted to their planet, given their own social structures

      Most of them in California because that State simply cannot get its shitty power grid sorted out. The damn thing barely works at the best of times due to a combination of corruption, greed, and Government interference.

      As an example the utility company promised Digital Realty and Stack Infrastructure that they’d have the power ready for them by the time their DCs were built but…SURPRISE…they lied. The only fault for DR and SI here is trusting a California Utility to deliver on their promise.
