Advertising where your datacenters are is not wise.

The problem is they are so hard to hide because of their power needs. If I recall correctly, these data centers consume 3% of the country's total power consumption (most it related to cooling...for every watt used to run a data center 2.5 is used to cool it). They like lots of cheap, plentiful and reliable power. (Hydro dominated power sources are preferred locations.) That limits site choices.
