Thanks for the reply.
I think most DC equipment should have built in coolant loops, standardized to the point where you can order all the equipment and just plug it in.
Spec that DC components can run at a much higher temperature.
The issue is that DC operators get to trade money for a natural resource (water, power) for lower up front build costs. Owner operators do a much better job, but Google still extracts billions of gallons of water from municipal supplies, often even ground water which I think should be a crime.
I'd also like to see the cost of cooling be passed on to the cloud customer. Mixing it into the hourly price causes a tragedy of the commons.
