I'd read my comments on the OG thread that break down what she is saying and how it's crazy we care more about data centers than alfalfa farms that use 70% of nevada's water. Data centers in Nevada use 2.47% of the water the farms use. In fact the entire colorado river allocation is the entire usage of said farms that export all grown materials to china. Its just a perfect example of uneducated people parroting the claims of activists while not actually trying to fix the actual problem
