Just got a video ad talking about how data centers don't actually use a lot of water and they use even less water once built and they're innovating to use even less water over time, so please don't be mad. The pushback is clearly getting to them.

Sponsored by the "Data Center Coalition" which claims it is a non-profit. Sure. Yeah. Uh huh.

Incredible. The video *did* have a bit talking about how they're re-using waste water, so it's kind of like recycling. It's all the same grift!!

Echoes of the "our NFTs are minted using *renewable* energy so it's fine!" people.

It's probably a lot of the same people, even. I still remember when Serj Tankian (System of a Down singer and huge environmentalist) got conned into supporting "environmentally friendly" NFTs of some sort.
