I think Steve Christy should understand that there is a difference between being business friendly and oligarch, NDA and environmentally destructive friendly.
Yes, potentially data centers could be placed in space but that move would have to overcome many technical hurdles. The world’s first commercially available quantum computer is being made by a company with the stock symbol QBTS. The greater computing power could lessen the size of AI centers.
Thank you Tucson City council for unanimously opposing Project Blue! Let’s keep the momentum going and reform the process that led to this situation. Non-Disclosure practices may be appropriate for some development, but not when the development can affect an entire region. Tucson has a chance to up our game and be a world leader in encouraging innovation and water friendly development, industries and conservation.
I’m so proud of our City Council . They did their due diligence and said not now but also looking to put ordinances in place and recognize that attracting industries that can align with our desert living is in the best interest of our community. Thank you and well done!!
The City Council did the right thing in putting the kibosh on Project Blue. I remember being in NYC when another Jeff Bezos mega-project, Amazon's HQ in the Long Island City neighborhood, was quashed by public opposition led by AOC and others (including the current mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani), and how people supporting the project moaned and groaned that the city was showing it opposed all kinds of projects and no corporations would ever come knocking again. There was a temporary loss of projected jobs, but today Long Island City is booming with numerous soaring skyscrapers, a whole new AI-based creative industry restructure, vibrant new public spaces, new affordable housing projects, and lots of better things than Jeff Bezos could have provided. Obviously, Tucson is a very different place, but the same thing can happen in other ways, particularly in regard to affordable housing and getting corporations that will have much less of a negative effect upon the environment.
From what I've learned, dissipating heat is more difficult in space because heat can only be dissipated through radiation, not through conduction or convection. Sure, the equilibrium temperature of a system without too much heat generation may be pretty low, but as soon as you have a significant amount of heat being generated, dissipation becomes an issue.
There are actually ways to dissipate heat to space here on earth too... Which would be interesting strategies for potential data centers in the future.

Glad to see this battle won - but sadly, the war has just begun.
