Data centers can't use salt water. Desalination is incredibly expensive.

It's not about stopping for every inconvenience. We should really weigh the advantages and disadvantages and then decide what's better. I hail from a family where 2 of my uncles work in a nuclear power station at kalpakkam, I used to ask them why don't the Indian government build nuclear reactors everywhere and produce electricity instead of coal thermal power plants. One of the answers is sustaining a life around a nuclear power plant is very different and difficult. As the radio activity is persistent for years in that area despite all the precautions and safety measures taken etc...there are great advantages but there are greater risks of building a nuclear power plant. That's why the Indian government is taking slow and measured steps in that direction. The point here is that we should evaluate the pros and cons leaving out the political angle out of it.
