#exurbs — Public Fediverse posts

Turns out, huge data centers consume more than vast amounts of electricity. They also have an incredible thirst for #water to cool their equipment. In fact, about the same amount that a small city needs for residential use. Given that many of these centers are built in distant #suburbs, do these #exurbs have the water to spare? Even in a state famous for its lakes, many are asking. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/02/11/water-guzzling-data-centers-spark-worries-for-minnesotas-groundwater

America is moving toward an “industrial policy.” Translation: It will reward some things made in North America and discourage imports. But if there’s to be an increase in #manufacturing plants and warehouses, where will these land-hungry sites be? If Atlanta is an example, not in cities or near #airports … but along interstate highways far out in the #exurbs. https://www.ajc.com/news/business/industrial-developers-search-for-available-land-at-edges-of-metro-area/4G5WV3SGDNF35F7MO2KDWVXKKI/ #CRE #econdev

#Introduction
Moving here from another server that is shutting down.
Semi-retired #SoftwareDeveloper, #DigitalArtist, #Gamer, #Poly, #Pan, #NonBinary, born #Intersex in the 60's.
I do not like to talk shop- I am here to get away from work, but I do enjoy learning new things if you are talking shop. I may ask questions.
I do #FractalArt as a hobby- though I do sell art from time to time.
I test pens, lots and lots of pens.
I also occasionally enjoy driving backwards over engineers.
I create- not digital content, but physical things that are pretty and practical. If it can be reused or recycled- I will find a way to do that and turn it into something new.
Also a semi-retired #OrganicFarm #Farmer- currently #MicroFarming in the #Exurbs, and teaching others to #UrbanFarm #SuburbanFarm and grow produce on their balconies and porches.

Feel free to ask questions, but don't expect instant responses- I am not #AlwaysOnline, and #Privacy is my first priority- mine and yours.
