They use evaporation towers. You "consume" water in liquid form and produce water in gas form (humidity).

So the water molecules are not destroyed, but the water does not return to the water source, it dissipates into the air.

My kids are not in the public school system because here, a 6yo kid here gets an ipad or chromebook, and does a huge chunk of their school work through apps. I just dont believe that is a good way to learn. Has nothing to do with race, gender or left/right politics.

At least in our areas, while there is no money for teachers (no raises, big classes etc), the schools spend enormous amounts of money on new stadiums. As long as the tax money goes to funding sports, I will do whatever I can to underfund them.

Keep in mind "faults per 100 vehicles" is perhaps an indicator of the same car models YoY, but not a great way to compare. My first car was a tiny Toyota Aygo with basically zero features and thus very little that can go wrong. While my Toyota Land cruiser had more issues, it was still a much higher quality car overall. Just as an example.

It is pointless for your daily energy consumption. But it is very useful that one day of the year when an ice storm takes out the grid and you are stuck sheltering in the home for 24h waiting for power and everything to get back to normal as well. Here is Texas outages usually come together with stay-at-home directives for many workers, anyway. So it does not apply to everyone, but it could help lots of people those rare cases. And that in turn hello first responders.
