This is a good showcase of how a few individuals can leverage power to fend off massive interests. For the good of the public even, in this instance.

They didn't think of that when designing this?
I'm sure they did, and they wouldn't take the farm down until there was X% failure, but the amount of time and effort it took to perform those repairs made it unfeasible.

Closed loop watercooling is really just air cooling with extra steps. The water is heated by the devices and cooled by a large radiator with fans. Or it's cooled with a chiller which in turn is cooled by a radiator with fans.
Replacing the water is the most effective (yet wasteful) way to remove the heat.
I once saw a spa that was using a liquid cooled bank of computers to heat their pool water. It involves a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger so they're not pumping chlorinated pool water through their servers but...I wish we did more of that. Server farms are a source of heat, lots of other things need heat.

They building a new data center in the bay area California that is struggling for water all the time. But its OK they are building it upstream towards the reservoir so they can get first dibs
So that one's not too worried about the tectonic stability thing, then.

Also a good showcase on why you should care about your local elections. Vote for people who will protect your interests, like these folks.

I know. Was looking for a term to separate the two areas. Not like the San Andreas fault is stable!
How could I have dialed that in better?
Probably some ecological or geologic zone that would be precise but I don't know.

Bezos has tens of billions, if not hundreds. He could support development of heat-resistant microchips, which would have countless applications.

What do you think research is?

you don't need to jump off a building to research gravity...
the specific issue that is claimed to have made the entire project unviable is easily spotted a mile away

How are you going to evaluate long term effects without practical experiments? They clearly have the money and its much easier and efficient to launch a real MVP than to design a complex set of simulations and tests.
