Google says it will rethink its plans for a big data center in Chile over water worries

Economic Times · 9m

Google has announced that it will halt the development of a $200 million data center in Chile due to environmental concerns. The decision comes after a Chilean court partially reversed the center's authorization over water usage concerns. Google has stated that it will revise the project to comply with more stringent environmental requirements and change its water-intensive cooling system. The company has not provided an updated timeline for the project but will keep the same location. This decision reflects growing concerns worldwide about the environmental impact of power-thirsty projects.
