@jschauma@mstdn.social It strikes me that the combination of more severe heating (due to man-made global warming, obviously) and fuel insecurity is probably going to be a major stressor for these data centres. Sure, they can over-provision on AC and work out sweetheart deals for fuel supply for some time. But if you add in growing anti-DC sentiment, people getting better educated about the environmental impacts and how it's making everybody's electricity prices go up, along with a rise in fuel prices in general and resentment for how DCs seem to be getting better treatment by governments relative to people who need fuel to get to work and live, well... I guess we'll see how resilient and "too big to fail" this con really is...
