“I am not saying that it’s impossible for data centers to ever cause any problems with water. They require careful planning in the same ways other large industrial buildings do. What I am saying is that right now no reasonable forecasts imply that data centers will rise to become a significant problem for water access in the US. Almost all complaints about their national water use are basically just saying ‘We should not have a new large industry in America using water.’”

@mjd@mathstodon.xyz uh... yes? Exactly? We should not have a new large industry in America using water at this scale?
