      @jodmentum Yes, I can’t imagine how the economics could make sense. One proposed data center for Alberta is looking at 1Gw of power and two million sq feet. How could you construct anything comparable. Heat dissipation component failure and upgrades, bandwidth. What are the advantages of space…
