    Wasting. They’re depleting entire aquifers that took thousands of years to fill up. it’s remarkable that they’re allowed to do it. Hell the major cities in Texas are sinking because of it. But ho hum, whatever. We don’t need conservation.

      And they don’t even need to waste it, there are plenty of ways to cool them that doesn’t result in the water being used up.

      Best one is the Google datacenter in Hamina, Finland, they have the cooling loop connected to the city central heating system, so not only is no water used, the excess heat is useful as well. And the datacenter is powered by solar, so it’s renewable heat as well.
