Why don’t these companies build in northern states? They are cold in the winter and there is tons of water.
- Not as many local governments willing to throw them tax incentives and take bribes.
- Cheap, empty land, probably. And I'm guessing there was a tax incentive. Probably cheaper power in AZ from solar power too, more than hydro.
  
  They would need to bring their own solar power, because Arizona doesn’t have much… Surprisingly.
- They are easier to attack. AZ is landlocked.
