A curious turn of events
The National Center for Atmospheric Research is based in Boulder, Colorado.
They are building a huge supercomputing center but they are locating it in neighboring Wyoming.
As always, the devil (literally in this case) is in the details.
Anthony has the story at

The story jumps all over the place so I am not going to try to excerpt it but it is worth reading (and the 150+ comments).
Needless to say, the reason for the location is swept under the rug in all of the public relations releases -- all the while they are talking about sustainability and LEED certification of the facility.
