Google needs more Power!

Hiding in Plain Sight, Google Seeks More Power - New York Times


On the banks of the windswept Columbia River, Google is working on a secret weapon in its quest to dominate the next generation of Internet computing. But it is hard to keep a secret when it is a computing center as big as two football fields, with twin cooling plants protruding four stories into the sky.

The complex, sprawling like an information-age factory, heralds a substantial expansion of a worldwide computing network handling billions of search queries a day and a growing repertory of other Internet services.

Years ago I read about Google's need for cheap power and the cooling issues these data centres need. Now their plan to take these centres out in the ocean has brought the need in the public eye.
But after reading about this in Wired 3 years ago I thought about this.

Google needs the following
-Cheap power
-isolation for security
-colder climates for cooling

Um Manitoba Hydro, have you thought about maybe giving Google a call?
