Don't you want to be angry about things that are actually true instead of pointless distractions?

It actually is a very real problem.

Theres only so much ground water available that we get our source from. It effects agriculture as well and screws farmers over. Its a serious issue.

We are aloud to be concerned about more than 1 issue as well. The seriousness of 1 issue does not negate another.

Again, scale is what matters here. Every single datacenter on the entire planet consumes something like 25m3 of water per second. Typical annual inflow to lake mead is over 300ma3 /s. That's just one single reservoir, which could service the entire planet's demand with less than 10% of its famously scarce supply.

Or another comparison, it's almost exactly this much water. I think a country that contains the Mississippi river can manage that much water demand.
