I understand Microsoft using so much power since they have tons of data centers… but why Google? Do they possibly have as many as Microsoft?

I live in data center central in Virginia and haven’t seen any google ones.

GPT tells me they are in a bunch of random states… interesting.

They are also in Virginia in Energy Park Drive, Leesburg, VA, USA, but they tend to not put big banners on them. It is surprisingly difficult to google Google data centers

Okay I’m in brambleton so just about every other data center is here. I didn’t even know there were data centers in Leesburg but I knew they wanted to build them of sicolin rd near the private airport. I just assume every lifeless looking data center was AWS
