Proof that low power, highly efficient computing power needs to become the new standard (ie, ARM).

At the same time, I am glad that these NIMBYs and suburbanites get a small taste of what happens when decades of "not in my backyard" and car centric policy comes to bite them in the ass. Nobody wants to be next to the "noisy" data center, but at the same time everybody wants access to the internet. If we had sane city design in the United States of America which emphasized density, walkability, alternative forms of transportation, and accessible and highly available public transportation. Nobody would care if a data center is out in the middle of nowhere.

But this is the good ole US of A, where everyone must have a car. Everyone must have their 8000 sq ft fiefdom. Everywhere needs to be accessible by a 2 ton death machine.
