I think it's important to know the total costs environmentally for these outfits

But what criteria do we use to judge whether these numbers are too high or too low? How do they compare to other construction projects of this size?

The title doesn't mention a time horizon it states what was used which it was. This is not misleading.

Is there a AI data center construction process that doesn't involve these costs?

Is there a large scale construction project that doesn’t incur these costs? Is the AI data center substantially worse on these metrics that other comparable projects? Or are we talking about it only because it’s AI-related?
