I think the world events we’ve seen over the last 4 or so years (especially last 12 months), will mean both new (and existing) data centers and refineries will begin to have counter measures beyond a security guard and some fences.
Anti-drone equipment for one. The pipelines themselves are tough to secure given how long some are.
Closer and closer to a cyberpunk world with faux (or real) military at these data centers and refineries in areas that may not be in direct active conflict.
Imagine building a new refinery, the money and time alone, only for a few thousand dollar drone to be snuck in and launched? Insurance on these facilities going to start requiring far more elaborate physical security measures.
