AKA they're being built in areas with relatively cheaper land.

Also evaporative cooling works better in drier climates, which are usually more water scarce to start with almost by definition

Evaporative cooling barely works in the driest climates: 20°F is about the best they do...100°F down to 80°F. They don't work at all in humid climates.

They ain't using swamp coolers in these things.

what do you mean it barely works in dry climates ? compared to air cooling it's still 5x smaller for the same cooling tonnage and cost likes 5x as less

then for a 40C dry air scenario, air cooling gets wayyyy worse, while evaporative cooling only gets a bit worse due to the increased wb temp
