Description
Description | Project Blue is a data center project in Pima County, Arizona, planned for Amazon Web Services. The project is moving forward with a closed-loop cooling system that uses less water by relying more on electricity for cooling. The initial phase is expected to generate $3.6 billion in capital investment and $152 million in tax revenues over ten years. The cooling system will use a closed-loop design that recirculates small amounts of water, eliminating water loss for industrial cooling purposes. The project faced opposition due to concerns about water and energy usage and land sale agreement validity. |
