We have serious water issues in the Southwest, it is insane to build any data centers here.

Maybe we can get on Canada's good side again and have them open that water valve Trump talked about a few years ago.

The AI "boom"? It threatens drinking water. Things are bad.

Gee...might have to ditch their COWS. 😅

For an industry that’s all about the future, they don’t care that they are destroying the future for the next generation and beyond. How stupid and short sighted.

We don't benefit from it at all. It can't do anything but harm so far.

And the stock market is being driven by AI investments.

“AI Boom threatens drinking water supply”. let me know if you need help with any other headlines.

Why build data centers In dry country when they require so much water?

Please go to the end of the line!

Data centers should NEVER be built in the desert. They are inherently tough to keep cool, and popping them in the middle of a hot as hell climate is not foolish, it's pure asinine.

No shit Sherlock

"Arizona's AI woes threaten Colorado River."

The Anthem Data center is being forced on Tulsa, I live <5 miles from it. We are socioeconomically disadvantaged & we're on tribal land. Our city councilor(R) signed a NDA with them. Okla. is the test ground for the Christian Nationalist agenda. If they can force it on us, they'll force it on you.

As well they should be.

Does anyone else remember rain gardens appearing in the national conversation? Before 2016 there was a sense we could preserve aquifers
