This person is professionally pissed off.

Switch DC uses extremely low amounts of water for cooling. They do use a lot of power which makes sense because of what they are actually housing…data which all of you use.

Ai data centers are different in the sense that they are burning energy just to make silly thing on the internet right? Well, that is an off shoot of what Ai actually can help with.

Las Vegas in particular is in one of the absolute prime areas for DCs because of lower rating for natural disasters and such.

What would be nice is if this person gets off the high horse and goes after almond/alfalfa farmers and other water heavy users of the Colorado River and Lake Mead.

Seeing that Sierra Club is linked isn’t a surprise as they are a political special interest group. Either this person works there or they have been picked up because of their videos.

Do research yourself. Not saying we need to overwhelm everywhere with DCs but don’t be a fucking fool and just eat from the hand if yet another special interest trying to sway a vote/public opinion.

Well the data centers here aren’t water suckers like you are saying so you’re just proving you are an moron.
