Tech analysts are turning their attention to Patagonia, the remote region of southern Argentina, as the next frontier for hyperscale data centers. The area’s cool climate, abundant renewable energy from wind farms, and low‑cost land make it an attractive alternative to traditional hubs in the U.S. and Europe. Several multinational cloud providers have already signed memoranda of understanding with local authorities to build facilities that could power up to 10 million servers by 2030.
Meanwhile, the ongoing U.S.–China trade war has taken an unexpected turn with Harley‑Davidson entering the fray. The iconic motorcycle manufacturer announced plans to relocate a portion of its production to Mexico to sidestep new tariffs on steel and aluminum. The move has been condemned by U.S. lawmakers who argue that Harley‑Davidson’s shift undermines domestic manufacturing jobs, while the company maintains that the decision is essential for maintaining competitive pricing in a global market.
