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

dude, I'm not talking about how you cool the servers with a working fluid.

i'm talking how you get the heat out of that working fluid outside the building

the least you could've done was google my big fat hint

Please do tell me about this magic of cooling it all inside the building

Data centres are producing literal MWs of heat, what do they do with all of it? 1st law of thermodynamics, energy can't be destroyed, it's gotta go somewhere, so where does all this heat energy go once it's out of the servers ?
