I agree energy use is the more concerning issue, while water has probably caught more press because it's more tangible. But there's no getting around thermodynamics. That "wasted energy" is dissipated using large amounts of water.

It's also "caught more press" because for some insane reason these clowns keep wanting to build them in deeply drought-stricken desert regions where many people are already under water restrictions due to the ongoing drought.
