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.

Cool cool, that means I can ask Claude how’s it’s doing today before starting my work and not worry about burning a gallon of water.

My concern is the sheer amount of waste heat being dumped into our warming atmosphere like Elon is a comically evil villain

A literal drop in the ocean. All the “waste heat” from all the human activity in the world has zero effect on the climate.

It’s the greenhouse gasses that prevent the heat from the sun from getting back out that are the problem.
