We need to redesign data centers to be more environmentally friendly. Cool it differently, use less water or keep it in a reused loop system. China seems to have already figured this out and put them underground using a radiant cooling loop. Copy it!

Just like this administration and the 1% that sponsor them to not understand that no means NO!

The jobs pitch is the weak spot politicians lean on. Good Jobs First's study this year found taxpayer costs for data center tax breaks "routinely exceed $1 million per permanent job."
