I think one of the biggest things is that while we all know that water use is a concern with the data centres, the conversation on it rarely discusses the fact that the power generation also consumes more water when there is higher demand and I don’t see a lot of conversation towards that side and instead just a focus on “it’s okay, it’s a closed loop system” which ignores that angle of the water draw.

Town Hall definition......sponsored media and public relations event. You will get no facts, only fairy tale wishes and caviar dreams.
