More data-center demand means more energy and water demand. Can this in turn incentivize in-situ water reclamation/desalination and energy generation (solar, nuclear), driving down prices for both? Maybe one day, data centers will crystalize cities around them - like mono-cities of USSR, but way more robust. You can even think of these as oasis of some sort!

- grues-dinner 2y ago> data centers will crystalize cities around them Most datacenter run on pretty small staff sizes. Every time they announce "new datacenter to bring 4000 jobs", a large proportion of those are in the construction, with only a small fraction being operational staff. Globally (roughly), there are around 2 million datacenter staff, and 8000 datacenters. 250 people in a huge physical site isn't a good start for a city.
