Move the operation to someplace cold, start up a little town around it and provide heat as a utility.

This is already happening in Iceland. Iceland is so cold, AI datacenters can just use the passive cooling from the environment. Iceland also has some of the cheapest electricity on the planet, thanks to public investment in energy infrastructure.

Hopefully we'll see more development in Greenland for similar reasons.

Start moving where it's cold, people. That's where the new 'coasts' will be.
