The NSA Utah data center cost $1.5B-$2B to build and then another ~$2B of electronics to stock inside it. It also had hundreds of contractors and employs 200+ full time employees. It consumes $40M worth of electricity each year and uses 1.7 million gallons of water each day for cooling. So it sure doesn't seem like it unless we want to get into a debate around how much perceived useful data and value the NSA gets out of spying on Americans and foreign countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center |
