The hefty energy bills associated with cooling data centers have long been a concern. Now, a Reddit user’s intriguing proposal is sparking debate: why not relocate these power-hungry facilities to naturally cold regions? The logic is simple: leverage frigid climates to dramatically slash cooling costs and ease the burden on local power grids. Satellite connectivity could potentially overcome location limitations.
