   I wonder if we'll start to see a bunch of these new data centers going to low-population places where wind power is cheap, e.g. Nebraska? Like I assume for a lot of this stuff distance from population isn't a huge deal?

     @ZachWeinersmith Not data centers per se, but Germany has seen some industrial manufacturing relocate from the classic industry centers in the South (esp. Bavaria) to coastal states like Schleswig-Holstein.
