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.

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