Also water, they consume heaps of fresh water which is used for important meat bag things like, oh I don’t know, eating and drinking perhaps.
No one is really challenging them on this, but water scarcity is going to be a big deal as climate change worsens.
Cook the planet and take all the water.
Isn’t water mainly used for cooling? I think you can still drink that water, unless they pump it full of chemicals.
the current cooling paradigm is to basically spray mist into the air inlets of a data center to make the air able to carry more heat. the hot, moist air is then vented to atmosphere. so the water is lost until it rains again.
So… the water is never lost.
sure, just like how water is not lost when you take a piss in the woods. it’s just not reusable without significant energy expenditure.
Water is never lost.
The problem is getting, filtering, and purifying the water so it can be used again.
