Huge Spending to Meet Energy Demands
The Midwest and its surrounding Great Lakes are poised to become a leading hub for data center sites, largely due to their proximity to abundant fresh water and the hunger for electrical power development using both carbon and nuclear. Billions of dollars are being allocated by Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta, just to name a few, for data center development as centers require immense amounts of water to cool their servers.
As the demand for cloud services, artificial intelligence, and data storage grows, companies will increasingly look for cost-effective and resource-secure locations to build their infrastructure.
