Nothing to worry about. META is just being shy, bashful and humble in not wanting people to know that they were funding this data centre. The data centre will or could provide warmth to the communities, potentially. (British sarcasm)

Think of all of the job it would create, creating tax revenue in the tens of dollars.
water supply, noise pollution, and rising energy costs
That's INSANITY.
I certainly understand why folks don't what that in their backyard. However, that sounds like a really great source of free heat to tap for commercial scale greenhouses in the winter time. I see theres a small deployment of this in Paris.
This is why we need to be doing more industrial stacking and underground shit. We need industrial subterranean towers so all the waste heats and pollution can be captured and used. This would also help humanity figure out self contained industrial on the moon and shit
