An earlier big data mantra said to move computation to where the data is - as data is too big to move around. Then I guess here, it could turn out, computation should be done where energy is, as energy is potentially even harder to move around than data? Tens of gigabytes per second is easy through one tiny fiber. A bundle is easily laid by an ordinary excavator. In contrast a transmission line for a gigawatt for a few hundred kilometers takes billions. With proper engineering with nothing fundamentally new, one could get proper integrated water cooled racks with very high computing density and power usage. Then put those racks in a building close to a nuclear powerplant (outside the security zone perhaps though). Or a wind or solar park + batteries. Can you circumvent the costs associated with using the public power grid? Extremely simplified, you only need fiber in and out of this power+computing facility. Ultimately you could do this in space with solar power and laser up/downlink. Cooling might be problematic though. France at least used to have a dedicated nuclear plant just for uranium enrichment. Before electricity, a lot of industry centered to places near running water for sawmills, flour mills, metal hammering and so on. With electricity these were in many cases decoupled. But things that get energy intense enough and don't need material transport or local labor, it might make sense to locate close to energy sources again.
