People should take this seriously. Not that we can’t have data centers that use renewable energy and recycle most of the water. But because cost cutting and mistakes and greed can make things go wrong.

See Anthropic buying compute from Musk’s potentially illegal gas powered datacenter or the Georgia datacenter that seems to have used up 30 million gallons of water without authorization, which caused residents to have low water pressure.
