Finland has no need for data centers but somehow Google decided to put one there. Probably because the push back would be less than elsewhere for the clear cutting of forest and damage.
I kind of feel like that could happen in the US. The choice of a data center site south of me is right by Lake Michigan, one of the largest fresh water sources in the country. Another is planned to the north. We have no idea of impact of these projects nor how they will actually be paid for. Data on us is mined without our permission already.
