Council Bluffs, one of Google's largest campuses, shows how hyperscale capacity actually accretes: continuous expansion since 2007 to over $5B invested, now hosting TPU pods among its halls, with wind-heavy Iowa power and river-adjacent cooling. Google discloses far less per-site than rivals; this record reflects announced investment milestones only.
