Water tower evaporative cooling is super efficient in PHX due to the low
humidity (if not the best for the water table) and because of the location
and crazy reliable power grid (cheap too) and minimal weather/geological
events.

While I'm not certain, I do think it has something to do with it the
geology. Regarding temperature, everywhere is hot to a 60F data center ...
The air is gonna get conditioned regardless, and the air is gonna get a
treatment too. Anyone who's spent any measurable time in a data center
knows "that
verde valley would probably be better. not as hot as phoenix nor as cold as
flagstaff.

I get the labor pool is probably a draw.
I've always wondered why companies want to build data centers in Phoenix
given the extreme heat.
Last year we had a month with daily highs of 116 degrees. That means
lots of A/C to cool down all that heat.
I wonder why someplace cool like Flagstaff
