I found this just out of curiosity from reading the article you posted. I don’t support wsj and think they’re a bunch of phony con artists and this quote from this article expresses that and also shows how this global take over is occurring through fascism and cronyism that comes from a free market that devolves into monopolies that gain control which then become fascist. It seems to be their m.o no matter what sector of the private market it is.
“If they don’t start charging more for water, there is going to be a water shortage for everybody.”
A lot of articles express this view as if it is the solution. Tax it so less people can afford it. Only the wealthy can have clean water.
It would seem that you found an extremely thirsty sector of this equation which is the emergence of more and more of these massive data centers and their need to consume more water than any other part of society. This seems to be an issue that is somewhat hidden from the public square of extremely important issues to debate and hash out because of how vital it is for the future and we’ll being of the earths populations. I never thought about how much water a data center consumes thanks for pointing this out.
So unfortunately, we here on GAW, are contributing to this? ;-)
“The typical data center uses about 3-5 million gallons of water per day -- the same amount of water as a city of 30,000-50,000 people,” said Venkatesh Uddameri, professor and director of the Water Resources Center at Texas Tech University.
Slaughtered at the alter of convenience and comfort. Your right, We have been corralled as a society into supporting these monopolies and have designed our reliance and economy around using their systems.
Freedom from tyranny is self reliance and community, remaining free from tyranny is self governance and community.
I’m curious at this point to know if this water shortage and limited supply fear porn is just another boogey man to limit consumption and gain control to manipulate populations through imposing gatekeepers who choose the winners and losers of who gets water, how much and when. It will be Interesting to see how the local governments side in these situations.
This happened in the Netherlands, but what about Silicon Valley?
