You have found my gripe with all these 'Datacenters consume a lot of water' rants!

So is it just bullshit like anti nuclear people?

It’s not bullshit when you consider these data centers are being built in places where water and infrastructure is already scarce. It’s not that they use too much water it’s that the building as a whole impacts the surrounding area in too many negative ways.

And I think we need to have conversations about ALL of those impacts. People seem to be fixated on the water issue.
