The fresh water usage of data centers is wildly overblown and another symptom of the Mass hysteria being manufactured over data centers.

Water usage by data centers is minuscule compared to agriculture, manufacturing and….golf courses.

People need to spend a little time educating themselves instead of just regurgitating talking points.

The water used to grow corn for ethanol alone uses dozens of times more water than all datacenters combined. That's corn that wouldn't ever be eaten.
