That a datacenter causes less environmental impact than a chemical plant? I have a lot of reasons to believe that.
The primary one being that the primary waste product for datacenters is water vapor while this chemical plant used extracted bromine from seawater using chlorine oxidation and produced a huge amount of chemical waste including water contaminated by chlorine and bromine.
In a disaster, a damaged datacenter will turn off while a damaged chemical plant will leak toxic and deadly chemicals into the local area.
