Not successfully. These things are massive, and it's very hard to create noise buffers even for far quieter uses than datacenters.

So what's the solution for datacenters? I think that like it or not, AI will be a huge part of the future exponential advancement of civilization (provided it doesn't kill us all first!).

Based on this discussion, it seems obvious that datacenters should only be built on unpopulated land. There'a lot of that in the U.S., in the form of deserts, mountainous regions, and large swaths of Alaska. But a lot of that is protected by legislation for valid landmark, cultural, national treasure, and environmental reasons (which the Trump admin is trying hard to circumvent).

Deserts are probably too hot for datacenter cooling needs, and mountains are too hard to build on.

So what about Alaska? There must be flatter areas that could be used, and that are devoid of people to be impacted.

And then there's Canada with all those huge cold unpopulated areas. Maybe it's time to "make a deal" with Canada to host U.S. data centers?

As for powering datacenters, why not pass legislation to require them to "bring their own power" in the form of clean "green" solutions like solar, wind, geothermal, or small modular nuclear reactors.
