Is there a practical or political reason why data centers aren’t located in more or less frozen regions to mitigate cooling costs? It seems like a no-brainer considering those centers can connect to anything anywhere via satellite, but maybe there’s something I’m missing?

I’m just simply wondering why we don’t as a society or culture or collective body intended for net benefit for all don’t simply built data centers in places where half the budget isn’t going towards cooling acre upon acre of Texas or Arizona warehouses and sapping local power grids in the process. Anyone have any ideas? Not trying to poke any bears. I’m just genuinely curious, since, if I were guiding the birth of yet another data center in this overcrowded world, I would go with a location that didn’t tax my operating expenses so heavily.
