Agree E. WA is a great place for server farms.
Unfortunately, lately there is a push for lower network latency, and in response to that, there are now a lot of Edge Cloud clusters being built near urban areas where various fossil fuel power plants to meet peak loads or load leveling are often used.
Putting these edge cloud server farms in those areas will cause the carbon producing facilities to be activated more often. That low latency comes at a price to the environment more so than the centralized ones positioned in places like E. WA.
