This is a reaction to the unwarranted fear-mongering in the media over water usage by data centers. The amount of water is utterly inconsequential. Growing corn on the same land the data centers currently occupy would consume more water and provide far less value.

We should question the motives of whoever orchestrated a "story" out of this non-story and is pushing it in the media. It obviously isn't being done in good faith.

Agree in spirit, but 'Growing corn on the same land the data centers currently occupy would consume more water and provide far less value' makes the argument weak because those 'agriculture is barely 2% of GDP' argument are like 'brain is barely 2% of your mass'.
