A proposed data center in northwestern Alberta could generate dozens of atomic bombs worth of heat every day.

I agree entirely, and I do hope my comment didn't appear to try to justify this insane data center buildout. We don't need any more data centers, and we need to completely eliminate fossil fuel usage.

I would also think that the heat may dry and kill the flora in the vicinity, which could potentially increase fire risk. But I'm no expert.
