Google takes Chile data center plans back to square one on environmental concerns - Channel News Asia

Quick Summary:

SANTIAGO : Google will rework from scratch its plans to build a $200 million data center in Santiago after concerns were raised about its environmental impact on the Chilean capital, the U.S.tech giant said in a statement on Tuesday.

"In due course, a new process will begin from scratch for a project that will use air-cooled technology at this very location," Google added.

Chile has been suffering from a drought for over a decade, and data servers require millions of liters of water annually for cooling.
