United States is building/has built around 4,000 of them. That is far more than any other country. China has 362. I can't cite where I recently read this because I didn't save the information. Someone said they can recycle the water in a cooling tower once they take it, but collapsing aquifers is never a good idea.
We need national discussions about these profound changes to our lifestyles and environment before they are simply imposed on us. Until then we can live without them. Data centers and AI are causing a lot of concern among people I know, and they need to be proven "safe and effective" before we are subject to harm.
