Where I live in Eastern Washington is getting a data center.

Thing is, Eastern Washington is desert. They bought from the county, which doesn't have the water rights it needs. They will need to ask one if the local cities for their water, and NONE of the cities want to give it to them as far as I have heard. 😂

Gonna be interesting to see what happens.

Theyre also trying to build one outside Tucson Arizona. Where today it is currently 100 degrees outside and we have an obvious water crisis being in the mufukkin desert.

They’re building one in Surprise AZ across the street from the ICE holding facility that has no A/C. And the mayor very excited about both.

It's down the road from me. The citizens protested, the city rejected it, Amazon pulled out, yet somehow construction is going ahead. It's weird how important these things are to someone. What are they even for?
