Humans and the environment need quiet data centers with locally generated power not the 2026 monstrous models.
Deploying Google's Tensor Processing Unit could increase the quiet underground data-center capacity. Shorter vertical mine shafts become economical locations.

Lots of servers fit in an underground farm:
For a 2,500-meter depth: 555 floors×840 servers=466,200 servers
For a 3,000-meter depth: 666 floors×840 servers=559,440 servers
Servers per Floor: 20 42U racks×42 units=840 servers per floor.

Non-destructive underground data-center design. Re-using old mines.
