"Is also putting a datacenter in areas with a good chance to be hit by sever weather each year a good idea?"
????? Every place can/might have extreme weather each year, and when it isn't weather it is earthquake, volcano, tsunami, stampedes, bugs (crawly type), war, crime etc...
"But wouldn't there be a circuit breaker for each phase output? I know that there is one on every one of the small single-phase UPSes I use."
Transistors blow to protect the fuses, fuses blow to protect the breakers, breakers only blow as a last resort to "hopefully" stop the building from burning..
I would spend more money on better service and even though I am an IT worker, I don't want to live on my phone.... Wireless charging-great idea, better security-always, more apps-no there are already 2+ million apps that I don't use.....Better signal coverage for all carriers-yes.......One annoyance is that I have been with the same carrier for 10+ years, and they don't care to offer me any plans or services for being a "loyal" customer. I don't need new lines, more data, more minutes, more texts... I just need my old phone to work affordably...
All heat engines (Coal, Nuclear) reject nearly 2/3 of their total energy. So a 300MWe plant will be rejecting nearly 600MW of heat per hour.... Laws of Thermodynamics can't be beat... This is why a Natural Gas fired plant is more efficient, but still reliant on fossil fuels... Natural Gas directly drives the turbine generator.
Actually, 31 out of 50 States elected President Trump!
It has never been the popular vote to select the United States President.
If I remember correctly very few "Heads of State" are elected completely (or at all) by their National Popular vote.....
I am sure someone will bring up those "few" that do....
