That documentary is about the Georgia data center where construction errors damaged local water supplies - it's bad, but it's not evidence that continued operation of data centers is harmful to local water.
- costa_b 10mo agoThere was no indication that things will be somehow repaired. The video stated that the data center consumes 10% of the whole county water need.

And this is ongoing. I don't think these power companies will rollback rates any time soon.

Do you find his writing there unconvincing?
