“Google’s Data Center in New Albany, Ohio uses 387,000 gallons per day. That’s over 141 million gallons per year
“What happens to that water? It gets generated with a lot of forever chemicals in it, and we the EPA does not have the equipment to actually clean that out”
It’s true standard municipal wastewater treatment plants often struggle with PFAS because these chemicals don’t break down easily and require specialized, expensive removal technology”
No doubt there are challengers. We are talking about cutting edge technology thats going to decide who gets to make the rules for the world - whether it will be US with American Principles or China with their Communist/CBDC.
And we are up for the challenge. By no means evaporative cooling is the only option as the mainstream makes us believe:
Microsoft's zero water cooling
Hybrid cooling that can reduce water requirement by 80%
Immersion cooling, direct to chip cooling, and dry cooling
However I get it. Every new technological progress is going to disrupt the society to an extent. The options we are looking at:
Rise up to the challenge, develop this technology under a patriotic administration that cares about America, and become fully free from the Banksters
Decide we want no risks, let China take the reins, continue deindustrializations, and inevitably sell all land, resources etc to the Chinese companies and hope for the best.
Honestly, there is no other alternative.
If there is poison coming back in the water.
Sue them, force them into having to purify the water better than they found it or their CEO and board can be held liable for criminal negligence.
Data centers aren't the problem.
Externalities from industry are.
There should already be laws in place for polluting public drinking water, knowingly.
