I’d prefer we don’t datacenter to the gills, but if we’re destined to do it anyway, they should offer free Heat/data services to the communities they’re thrust upon, and the agreement should be on the datacenter licensing so they can’t reorg out of it.
This is different. The raw meat of an abattoir is its product, while heat is the byproduct of a datacenter. It’s even something they do their best not to have. Distributing that to the community would be a great positive.
