"Things that I don't like" does not equal "enemies of democracy".
Well, according to the International Trade Union Confederation, only things that are good for the International Trade Union Confederation are good for democracy. I wonder how far down the list one has to go to get to Putin, Hamas or the like.
Can someone please explain why these datacenters can't recirculate the water to reduce usage? Car washes do this, but datacenters are even more favorable to reuse since they keep the water in a clean closed loop for cooling. I don't understand why they need so much new fresh water constantly, besides wasteful design.
From TFA:
"Not everyone agrees. Commenting on the FT article via a LinkedIn post, Michael Lesniak of water systems company Aquatech claimed that most datacenters in Loudoun County use recycled sewage water that would otherwise be dumped in the Chesapeake Bay. He also claimed that most new facilities use no water for cooling.
The bigger bit barn operators such as AWS have certainly pledged to take action over water consumption, with AWS announcing back in 2022 its intention to become water positive by 2030."
Some people have a great ambition: to build something that will last, at least until they've finished building it.
