well datacenters should go near power plants or cool mountain areas

Why mountain areas?
temperature drops on mountain areas...
It drops compared to the immediate vicinity, but mountain areas in the hottest parts of the US can still be very hot, and even non-mountain areas in the coldest parts of the US can still be very cold, so perhaps we should just say the coldest areas.
