They are putting them in Alaska (the governor is even working to attract more), but sparsely populated Alaska doesn't currently have the energy infrastructure to support a major build-out of data centers there.

but sparsely populated Alaska doesn’t currently have the energy infrastructure to support a major build-out of data centers there.

That's the neat part...

No area does.

When they go in residential areas, peoples faucets go dry and their energy rates skyrocket.

Because there's not enough infrastructure for the data centers and the population. So they just take it from the population.
