Doña Ana is an embattled region, however, and Oracle pledged $360 million for schools and infrastructure, $50 million to upgrade a water utility that was found not to have been filtering out arsenic , and $12 million straight into the county's coffers. For a modest county with just over 220,000 residents and 40 settlements lacking paved roads and sewers, these figures represent a nigh-believable windfall. Manny Sanchez, the county commission's chairman, reportedly stated that "we've never had that type of money here in Doña Ana County."

GenericUser2001 Hear me out; why don't the datacenter companies put their datacenters in the "rust belt" areas of the midwest near the Great Lakes? No shortage of water, and there are plenty of old, unused factories that could be knocked down to make way for a datacenter. Reply

No shortage of water, and there are plenty of old, unused factories that could be knocked down to make way for a datacenter. Some of that is definitely happening. Two examples are where a defunct paper mill in Maine is being converted into one and Musk's Colossus was built on some other sort of existing site. However, I think the issue is that the scale of what's "needed" is far greater than you can satisfy with just sites like those. Plus, more power generation is needed and even if there was an abundance of power when those old rust belt factories shut down, in most cases I think that excess has been absorbed by other businesses and surrounding communities. Also, some nuclear plants have been decommissioned. Reply
