Not to lower costs lol

Data centers should be required to make their own electricity with solar. They should also be required to use ground source heat pumps for cooling. And I don't think it would be unreasonable to require them to be underground facilities too; as Ukraine has shown, data centers are valid military targets.

I feel this is the kind of thing why, in an ideal world, we would all form cooperatives for any service where it's not feasible or economical to deploy infrastructure twice. And then refuse to buy from any non-coop service provider.

I don't think this will go anywhere while gas prices are where they are
