Finally someone has some sense. So much water is used daily for industrial cooling purposes. Most of these functions can’t be done underwater easily but they still use mostly untreated water from the environment. The fact that these amerikkka data centers seem to be hooking up to municipal water has been insane.

Really they gotta make a desalination plant/data center combo. The GPUs can boil the water
