At least these sites (its more than Amazon) are being built near the energy source they will consume. Straight out of the ground into a turbine and then into the electron spinners.

Also there's not a lot of anything where these sites are located (Near El Paso). The 4-5 Road Runners who live around there will probably appreciate the change.

West Texas is basically Mad Max 2.

No one cares about West Texas, it's about the 33 million tons of carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere and warming the world.

Reminder that the USA are the country that historically burned the most fossil fuels, the world's largest extractor of oil, the only country trying to do a 180 on coal power.

Half of the world has experienced unprecedented heatwaves that will become the norm in 2050.

Stop burning fossil fuels.
