What is the highest-leverage attack on this kind of installation? Like most people don't have access to cruise missiles (though if you do, please do the thing!), but I'm thinking ventilation intake. Like take a can of expanding foam (ie, GreatStuff), duct-tape an M-80 to it, light and chuck it into the ducting.

take out the water supply intake by pouring two common products into the water intake lines before the pumps.

  • roof sealant
  • hydraulic cement

the roof sealant is viscous and sticky. it also cures while wet. it will gum up the pumps and turbines and make them sticky.

the cement will bind to the sealant and cure rapidly, seizing the rotation of the pumps and turbines.

it will be impossible to repair them and will need replacements. they may have replacements on site so you also need to puncture the cooling towers. bird shot from a shotgun should thoroughly shred the radiators.

if fascists can get away with shooting power distribution hubs then why can't we shoot data centers?

Just get a shit load of meth heads and tell them how much copper there is in these fucking murder centers

Or maybe put the address on Craigslist and say you're moving and there's hella free copper, RAM and graphics cards.

That's a good idea
