While at the fairgrounds yesterday I pondered the possibility of that land being sold for a data center. What a loss that would be. Its been rumored to be of interest to developers for that purpose.

Data Centers have become the garbage dumps of the modern era. Everyone uses one but nobody wants it in their back yard.

Yes and it's becoming a political issue as well. Unfortunately it'll be what it'll be

First time for everything I guess. After a long work day I put 10 bucks of e85 in the frs and drove off with the nozzle still in the car. A big thank you to whoever designed the quick release on fuel hoses.

That's because they use an insane amount of energy and water.

Other countries where there are regulations to used cooling systems that are "closed loop" like the AC in your house or car.

However, in the name of cost savings, basically all the cooling set ups use evaporative cooling.

I can't believe they are going to put one in at Horseshoe Bend. It sucks that our politicians bend the knee to the few hundred billionaires in this country.
