Any water a data center uses comes out the other side as… Warm water and evaporation. It’s not lost to the world or anything. It’s just moving rain elsewhere.
AI datacenters are not latency sensitive so they can easily be built in optimal energy/water locations going forward. Just regulate them like we do other industries.
Seawater cannot be used for cooling, salt buildup will kill the system. Water involved in human activity is 100% freshwater, which is the the most scarce resource as in the article (human accessible is 1% of whole water). Desallination is energy intense process too.
Did you just wrote that AI is increasing size of El Nino because of increased evaporation ? We can sue technological companies for hurricane damages ? Great !
… 71% of the earth’s surface is covered in water.

seawater is also corrosive and it will kill wildlife around it, that is not the ocean.
pretty sure technetium is more scarce

They’re trying to get ahead of those pesky regulations right now. That’s the problem.
