    Right? I always wondered why tech moved to Texas it has all the things data centers would hate:

    • unstable electricity
    • high heat
    • high property taxes

    If anything, I’d think they’d move to the great lakes.

    • Close to the Chicago IXP
    • Water for energy
    • Cool weather
