Cause: rising water-use disclosure pressure in Texas and other drought-sensitive states is pushing facility teams to treat water chemistry, […]

TL;DR Nvidia’s Rubin chip (2026) generates 2.3 kilowatts of heat per chip — nearly double its predecessor — and rack densities are scaling with it. Phoenix’s ambient heat load compounds the problem: a 120°F summer day narrows every thermal margin your cooling system depends on. Most cooling contractors are still quoting air-cooling rules of thumb

TL;DR Nashville’s city council used eminent domain to block a hyperscale data center from acquiring a site near the Nashville Zoo — a rare but legally sound move, per CoStar reporting. This is not an isolated event: cities across the U.S. are deploying zoning, environmental review, and now property law to slow or redirect large
