Comment on Data center drains 30M gals of water — until residents complained of pressure

Comments

Water usage is often a red herring compared to how much power, noise, and pollution a gigascale DC uses/creates.

Weird comment on an article where that literally isn’t the case.

I can’t tell if it’s just bot-driven nonsense, not reading the text, or just dishonesty masquerading as commentary.

Do you have anything constructive or non ad hominem to say?

I think you should apologize for being a complete asshat.

If you were truly committed to substantive conversation here you would've read the article before posting.

Less than 10% of data centers used closed loop systems and even closed loop requires regular evaporation of the water which builds up into toxic sludge after a few cycles—the biggest concern being the PFAS and the anti-freeze and anti-corrosives they add to the water

I think you should post substantively about the actual fucking article, instead of musing about nonsense, but here we are.

Call me more names, though, bro. That’ll beat the AI allegations.
