Keep Hyper-Scale Datacenters Out of the Desert (March 2026)

Look, not all desert datacenters are bad. I operate one myself—in the desert—albeit a small one.

And this isn’t a luddite manifesto. I love datacenters, I love AI and cloud compute, intricate networking gear, and the deafening roar of fans. I believe we need them…even in the desert!

But we must draw a line in the sand. Literally.

We must keep “hyper-scale” datacenters out of the desert by any means necessary.
