Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):A court in Chile has allowed Amazon to build a new data center in Huechuraba near Santiago after local residents and environmental groups failed to stop the project. This forms part of Amazon’s plan to invest more than $4 billion in data centers across Chile. People were worried about high electricity and water use, plus new power lines that could affect the hills, but the project passed all environmental checks and any new power lines will be reviewed later. Amazon says the data center will use special designs to protect the environment. Chile is becoming a popular spot for big data centers because of its clean energy but buiding data centers are destroying the nature
