It could be worth some discussion as to the size at which data centres become problematic. Are we just worried about hyper scale data centres with their own power plants? For example, there are a number of smaller data centres already operating for years in Edmonton and Calgary (e.g datacentermap.com/canad…). You could also add Bitdeer’s 100MW facility that just started construction in Fox Creek. That one’s actually a bitcoin mine, which raises another interesting topic as to whether certain uses are more acceptable than others (with bitcoin mines probably being at the parasite end of the spectrum). And if they’re using ASIC miners they’re not actually that adaptable to other data centre tasks.
