    Notice you have to cool both in the power plant and the DC. And these DCs run up to a GW or more.

        IBM does 60 deg C watercooling which can be not a lot of thermal delta in nonarctic environments. It’s a lot of km of infrastructure to vent directly if you want to dissipate a nuclear reactor’s worth of power in a single site.
