Since most (handwave) users of supercomputers access them by network
connections, it doesn't much matter where they are located physically. Which
is more cost efficient, to build a cooling system for a big ECL monster
located in, say, St. Louis, or to run a T3 link to the Yukon, where getting
rid of heat is not usually a problem? Just idle curiosity.
