When leaving Tbilisi for the airport, travelers pass along George W Bush Avenue, named after the former US president following his landmark 2005 visit -- a reminder of a period when Georgia was among Washington's closest partners in the South Caucasus.

But it is Georgia that is quickly becoming ground zero in the fight against untrammelled growth of datacenters which are notorious for using huge amounts of energy and water as they power the emerging industry of artificial intelligence.
