Skeptics of the proposed hyperscale data center in Box Elder County are sweating about a lot more than its energy demands and potential toll on water supplies.
Well heat islands are a real thing. If you put 9GW of energy into a data center and dont want to fry the electronics you have to expel that heat somewhere.
Data centers often expel their heat into the surrounding ecology via air con and liquid cooling.
This is selling fear because this data center won’t obey the laws of thermodynamics?
