Waste heat from data centers can boost air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the hottest in the U.S.

      Seems hard to believe that those would outweigh the like 30 degree average temperature difference of building it some place like Glasgow Montana.

          I didn’t think about evaporative cooling for some reason, how much water will that use?
