Data centers are really more of a Shelbyville idea!

Keep both. Hawaii has water + the tradewinds to cool those servers.

OK, I got to ask a serious question for those who might actually know the answer to.
I have seen a couple data centers under construction and they are absolutely huge taking multiple large buildings.
What is actually here? What are they and how do they benefit mankind?
Visit YouTube & type in "Ed Zitron". He'll give you an earful on the AI scam.

Shelbyville pols were sold bullshyt by BIG AI.
The pols think their community will get plenty of jobs + an annuity of tax revenue from the datacenter. They'll end up with neither.

The Azure North Central data center has migrated a lot of compute to containers they just drop off in the basement. The containers are never opened. They get dropped off and plugged into power and data and coolant. Once there are enough failures inside the container they decommission it, ship it back to wherever, and replace it with a new one.
There are lots of interesting approaches.
I think it is a crime to put them in the south. It’s a basic physics problem.
Microsoft could place these containers in Chicago. Problem is, the containers would be stripped clean once they cross into Crook County.

I agree, the southern states are often more open to this sort of thing.
For security reasons, it is best if datacenters not be permitted to much concentration in anyone spot. A single nuclear explosion should not
cause a digital collapse.
I don't think we will need as much capacity as they are building. I suspect that with more efficiency a lot of these datacenters will be big empty
buildings or running well below their capacity.
And I can't see them as being a good investment. You could talk about the trevs they displace, but this doesn't take into account the growth in
code that is produced, that will have to be maintained by someone, both AI and human.
Their time to obsolescence is measured in weeks, not years.

Cool story, bro.
An average Azure data center will have more security people than a suburban police department.
In any case, Azure North Central is in Franklin Park, IL which is in Cook Count. I was in Franklin Park last weekend.

I could care less about Microslop's Franklin Park data center.
Roll that server box past Rush & the brothers will strip it clean.

You said Cook County.
You got owned.
