Why would people possibly not want something that uses up water in times of constant draught, uses up energy in an energy crisis and pollutes the air and contributes to climate change in times of climate catastrophe, all so a few already way-too-rich dudes can become even richer?
It just doesn't make sense! Surely they were manipulated to hate progress!
- jayGlow 2mo agoI always hear about how concerned everyone is about water usage from data centers, however I haven't heard any of these people mention the amount of water we lose to leaking pipes. we lose 3x the amount of water to leaking pipes as data centers would use so if they're so concerned about water usage wouldn't fixing those be higher priority?
- watwut 2mo agoBad faith argument. There are places with water shortages and other places with leaking pipes. The datacanters consuming water in place with drought is issue. Leaking pipe next to a lake is not.
- jayGlow 2mo agoThat's great news that California no longer has a water shortage, I was under the impression they were in a drought but since the have leaking pipes that can't be the case! Besides that I've seen people complaining about water usage from data centers in the great lakes region so it's absolutely not something limited to drought stricken regions. https://graphics.latimes.com/la-aging-water-infrastructure/ https://graphics.latimes.com/la-aging-water-infrastructure/ https://www.wateronline.com/doc/california-drought-crisis-billions-of-gallons-of-water-are-lost-to-leaks-each-year-0001 https://www.wateronline.com/doc/california-drought-crisis-bi...
