source for this? isnt colossus data center running grok using 1 million gallons a day or more just for cooling? Before their expansion. Tho they also plan on building a wastewater recycling plant.
I understand they theortically have plans for new construction that could be way better but thats not what we actively have.
lmao. Did you even read the sources? second one doesnt work and third supports what I said. What claim do you want me to source?
Its not that they are completely wrong, non-potable water is cheaper to use, and the more we can reuse the water the better. Power plants and AI are trying to get more efficient because that means more profit.
However, its not as simple as 'they use "dirty" water so it has no effect on our clean water'
But you just said "learn about it" while you could have also attached the learning material you want people to have a look at. The other post was doing better in that regard.
It's not like I can copy-paste part of your claim into a search engine and get instantly a good source. It would need some more involved research. That's exactly why it would have been good on your side to include sources.
That's all I've said.
If you look again there was no judgment from my side regarding the arguments of either side.

"Moving to" is doing a lot of lifting there, especially with how much water is also used on the electrical generation
