>Oregon for example also has cheap power and water.

Cheap for who? For the companies having billions upon billions of dollars shoved into their pockets while still managing to lose all that money?

Power won't be cheap after the datacenters move in. Then the price of power goes up for everyone, including the residents who lived there before the datacenter was built. The "AI" companies won't care, they'll just do another round of funding.
