The server stacks themselves produce very little EMF, but:
- Data centers require far more electrical consumption than similarly-sized commercial developments, especcially their 24/7/365 cooling requirements.
- They require substations on or in close proximity to the development site
- They require large high-voltage transmission lines that many other conventional commercial sites simply do not, because they can often utilize existing infrastructure. Data centers cannot.
- They have complex back-up generator systems that also produce EMF, and even when not needed they are consistently run at regular intervals to prevent complete failures and data loss risks.
- Many/most also have on-site transmission towers or clusters of transmission equipment.
It's not about how much EMF a server stack produces, it's about how much EMF pollution the entire development produces.
Fun fact, EMF fluctuations consistently disrupt pollinators ability to forage, navigate, pollinate, and even control their basic motor functions.
The frogs may or may not be gay, but the bees are needed for a whole lot more than just honey.
