I do not understand why so many datacenters are in hot climates with limited water supplies.

So they will be murdering hundreds if not thousands of people per year.

According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, at least 4320 people died of heat related illness in 2023 and 2024 combined. 2/3 of Arizona lives in Phoenix, so that's around 1400 people per year already. 3⁰C extra will be catastrophic.

People will come back to houses with their loved ones boiled to death because the AC broke and the repair service wouldn't risk their life sending anyone out there. People will have engine failure and die on the side of the highway before AAA can arive. Fire risk is also going to increase to absurd levels so entire neighborhoods might well burn down.

I really hope this is going to be enough to start a revolution, because that is going to be hell.

That will help offset the chilling cold they suffer from in Phoenix!

In Phoenix, of all places, where summers are hot enough without this.

They gave up on getting a permit for the data centre in Death Valley?

In the meantime there’s a whole thread full of comments on the new Chinese underwater data centers talking about how they don’t heat up shit. Funny how China keeps coming up with these solutions that are perfect and the rest of the world just somehow can’t…

Edit: /s on Chinese solutions being perfect since that seems to have been less obvious than I thought it was.

They do realize how hot it is in Phoenix? Jeez

Slow roasting, at least the cannibals will be happy!

Pretty sure the plan is to use them to spy on everyone, then eventually phase them into detention centers without having any additional publicity.

It probably won't be at once, and for a while they will dual purpose buildings and make the people they detain use the drainage water for drinking\bathing while living in sweltering conditions.

When said in Celsius it doesn't sound as bad.
