    Why are these data centers not taking over the many dead malls across the US? I can think of a dozen in my state alone. Or abandoned theme parks? I know they’re just trying to avoid incorporated places and anywhere people actually care about environmental effects but this is ridiculous.

      Mall real estate is expensive. Plus I bet it costs more to remove the crap on the land already. Undeveloped land is usually cheaper.
