I was asking the same question. Naw, it isnt data centers.....yet. Currently it is just a lack of precipitation and snow melt in the mountains. Now think......if the river is currently empty, where is the data center getting its cooling water? What this fellow should have done was go up river from the data center and showed the river. If it stopped at the data centers front door, then yea that is where it is going.
People who don’t understand municipal infrastructure make outlandish claims. I heard one that said lake Meade was drained because of an AI center. This is someone who has no clue as to how the Colorado River is operated.
Yet people make all kinds of claims about how AI is going to take all the water and power in the country.
