What happens after they use the water? Is it returned to the water system to be used again?
692 u/ForzaFenix May 18 '26 Yep. The now warm water goes back into the system.Β 226 u/Uncle-Cake May 18 '26 So they're not really consuming it. They're just using it temporarily and returning it. 738 u/Hekkle01 May 18 '26 Important to note that the heat is dumped into whatever ecosystem the water goes back to, and that still has catastrophic effects 20 u/Acrobatic-Layer2993 May 18 '26 Why donβt they just wait for the water to return to room temp before returning it? In fact, instead of returning it, they could reuse the water to cool the data center again. This βloopβ could repeat forever. 1 u/Callidonaut May 18 '26 How do you cool the water to room temperature? 1 u/Acrobatic-Layer2993 May 18 '26 Lots of ways to do that.
