Yes. Water consumption has and always will be a dumb ass argument against data centers. There are PLENTY of good reasons, especially power consumption, that it baffles me that the movement hangs on this one.
Interesting I’m of the we have figured the power consumption (technically the issue is now political) issue but the water consumption is a problem. Wanna compare notes?
(The noise is a massive huger problem)
I’m not entirely sure, but it seems to me that you claim that the energy consumption issue of datacenters has been solved.
In what way has it been solved? The only way to solve it is after all by not having AI datacenters consume energy at all, being superflous things and all since: 1. we can easily live without AI datacenters. 2. we desperately need to cut back on energy consumption in every way possible on account of climate change.
Those factors seem at odds with your (possible) claim that the energy consumption of those centers has been solved.

We have figured how to create renewable energy, it’s just the politics of today that don’t let its use.
I don’t agree with your only way to solve it.
Why do you think renewable energy can’t meet these demands?
