They should build them in Greenland then.
Apparently, Virginia is a prime candidate. The company I work for is currently working on 6 Data centers and each has their own means. Some are strictly refrigerant based and some couple in water cooling.
Funny how not a one of them relies on solar or geothermal, you know, the "green" solutions.
Don't they recycle the water & the hot water could be used for other purposes.
Most of the time the water is mixed with glycol, so it serves no purpose other than removing heat from the components. You'd think heat exchangers would be the perfect winter time solution, but the added cost to pipe one in for 4-5 months of a year isn't feasible.
