Meta’s Water-Saving Data Center in Idaho | Boise News

Meta just dropped a $1.2 billion bomb in Kuna, Idaho — its first U.S. data center in the state and its 28th overall — featuring a revolutionary cooling system that uses a fraction of the water traditional centers do. Think giant car radiator tech: self-contained, refillable every 7-10 years instead of daily. With Americans increasingly wary of server farms (many preferring nuclear plants nearby), Meta’s water-saving design is a major win. They’re also powering it with three new solar projects, investing $100 million in local infrastructure, and supporting schools and public safety. Construction employed 1,600 workers, and the mayor calls it a “forever relationship” — all promises delivered. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
