One data center guzzled up 30 million gallons of water and also doesn't pay for any of that water usage either. ONE data center did this. Keep in mind they are putting these things all over the country. They are quite literally sucking the land dry of fresh drinking water. How is this allowed?https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/05/data-center-used-30-million-gallons-of-water-without-initially-paying/
>>534924677Everyone who designed and signed off on the permit for these data centers need to be sued to bankruptcy. There's no reason aside from cost as to why these data centers can't run on a closed loop cooling system.
>>534924677I'm sure it will be fine. Deport Tank Girl.
billions of people guzzle semen everyday, yet nobody says a word about that
>>534924677Where does this water go?
>>534924827Do you propose semen guzzling data centers?
>>534924677why data centers need water?
>>534924876Data centers have a lot of jeets inside pooping constantly
>>534924854into the gpu
>>534924854Burgers haven't discovered vapor and rain yet so as far as they know it disappears in the firmament or leaks towards the turtle transporting earth o algo
>>534924922And then what? It magically stops being water?
>>534924797Environmental concerns do not register anywhere near the circles of power.
>>534924827They should be using all that semen to cool off the equipment in the data centers. >>534924854>>534924876It's mainly used to cool off the servers and other equipment within the data centers.
>>534924876When you trick the rock into thinking hard the rock gets hot and needs kool aid to chill a bit
>>534924943Yeah lmao nigga just dump it outside, it'll come back eventually like nigga cry harder to replenish the reservoir
>>534924997And after it has cooled these GPUs it becomes water that is hotter than it was before right? So how is it being "consumed"?
They should build these in fuckoff canada where it's cold and nobody gives a shit
>>534924797it does run on a closed loop cooling system the 30 million gallons got sucked up in the construction process which is taking years
>>534924677What's even worse is there's no reason they should be using water at all. There should be a complete coolant loop.
datacenters are worthless to the local economy. They employ very few fulltime workers, and many of them moved to the location for the job. Microsoft specifically deploys Washington-based staff to the new datacenters. The sites have very few workers per shift and they devour local energy resources
>>534925082There's tons of wasteland with too much water that's cold and shitty where these should be built here. Literally no one around, I don't mean rural I mean fucking no one.
funny how useful infrastructure and housing always gets cockblocked for years by permits and zoning and red tape and legal battles but these fucking things just popped up everywhere overnight
>>534924854It evaporates into the air and drifts away as part of the cooling process.Eventually it will fall as rain, but most rain falls in the ocean.
>>534925169They extract data and resources but they don't give back. TOSS THE DATA CENTER DOWN THE WELL. SO MY COUNTRY CAN BE FREE!
>>534925077Took one search no problem. May I ask why you are being so damn lazy? You have the entire internet at your fingertips yet you want everyone else to do all the work for you, why is that?
>>534924677Sure datacenters divide water into oxygen and hydrogen and destroy it forever....Can leftists make a more stupid argument? I'm glad these freaks are being replaced. Their tranny art is trash anyway.
>>534924854Guess there is a black hole water goes... Which btw is the same water cycled again and again.Leftists are just stupid.
>>534925205And counties burned down when they said, 'no'.
>>534925077They're using ghetto ass evaporative cooling because the up front cost is lower. Then it's cheaper to bribe local officials than install a closed coolant loop.
>>534924677
You can't do shit.
>>534925292>AI is tracking water usage Great. Fucking Neuromancer wasn't this bleak

>>534924911A jeet matrix
>>534925508Palantir, flock cams, and Oracle are all right wing stuff. Flock cams in particular hurt minorities the most.
>>534925244Because your faggy gimmick AI is shit at answering questions, and so are you.How is this water being "consumed"? It heats up, it evaporates, it is still water. There is the same amount of water at the beginning of the process as there is at the end, it just temporarily changes its state of matter from a liquid to a gas. Explain to me how this means 5/8ths of fuck all? If I take 1 cup of water and move it from one cup to another I still have 1 cup of water, even if I heat it up in between. Fuck, I can heat it up and cool it down 6 million times and it will still be a cup of water. I could probably even power a turbine with it if I heat it up enough right?
>>534925717No, being a bit 'conservative' about the usage of AI is not entirely unhealthy.
>>534925763it was worth it, spending 500 trillion on computers that produced this
>>534925508This is a Pro-Datacenter board, tranny.
>>534925763Because the supply was only ever set up for one small town, if a data center consumes as much, you have two small towns there now.If it's just a question of money to upgrade systems, then you should get it from the techbros, not from the townsfolk.
>>534925763>water lost to atmosphere as vapor is still water broyeah great you fucking dipshit, glad to have my drinking water drained so indians can have rainfuck them and fuck you too
>>534925892i actually just hate leftists enough that i'm going to support everything they hate until they burn the world for meget bombing tankies, chop chop, mother nature has ass cancer or something, only two more decades

>>534924872We have one as president, powered exclusively by jewish semen.
>>534924677When are whites going to realize that you should never let jews anywhere near water?They're building all of these for their palantir surveillance system. The water they'll just drain or suck up regardless of whether the data center needs it.Notice how Palantir is now connected to USDA?It's to create a surveillance state and control all the food and water. And if you aren't a good goy, no water or food for you.

I continue to be baffled.This is being presented in the most retarded manner possible, and it is never explained who the actual retard is.Is this the center filling their cooling systems, or did some fucking clown decide that open cycle cooling makes sense?Until this is explicitly answered, BY OP(you fucking faggot), I have to assume everyone involved suffers from extreme cognitive damage.

The data center water only seems a problem when you have no idea what the scale of water usage in general. For example golf fields watering takes 6-7x more water in USA than all data centers combined. Where’s the outrage on golf watering?

>>534924854>>534924677you think they have a water loop ? nononono.they cool the racks with air, and hook up the the radiators to a water source, radiators turn the water into steam
>>534927584Most rain falls on the oceans, so effectively when a datacenter uses water for cooling it's heating the atmosphere and dumping fresh water into the ocean.

>>534925315I remember my sister being an activist during her cringe years, but the group she hung out with made me laugh with how far they went with delaying a building project.

As the species is endangered in Finland, they had to halt the entire project for almost six months due to the investigation and bureaucracy.
since when is /pol/ full of brown leftie troons? Data centers are based if only because they make libs seethe.White aryans chads are pro data centers.

>>534928331And when water from the ocean evaporates where does it get carried to?
>>534924938It gets sucked from the ground qhere it's slowly collected over millenia and thwn put in the atmosphere, where it is blown away on prevailing winds up to thousands of miles away before it comes back to the earth again in nowhere near the place where it got sucked out of the ground. The community where the water got sucked out of the ground will never see that water again, unlike when it is used to water their lawns or for their toilets. It can't treat that water or reuse it
>>534925843https://files.catbox.moe/soz6jg.mp4This but unironically
>>534927468>It’s a non-issue>local droughts? A non issueI believe the issue is that the water returns to the ocean instead of the area it was pulled from, hence the droughts. Shitposters gotta shitpost though
>>534924797They should be required to ship in desalinated water for their purposes I said closed loop. Or direct water effluent from wastewater plants(it is already potable and has more strict cleanliness requirements than the drinking water in many European taps)
>>534929259Why don't they just dig a hole and bury some tube for air to go down to super cold conditions and comes back take away heat? Like we have semi cheap drills for wells n shit, it gets super freezing deep in the earth...

>>534924943no but it stops being potable and the. evaporates to be carried away by the water cycle. ever heard of dry lakebeds such as Lake Owens? that shit doesn’t magically come right back to where it was sourced. no fucking wonder the elites want to murder the masses. you fucking insects are raping the environment to death and you’re too ignorant to realize it

>>534924677Boomers are running the show and don't understand how technology works
>>534927002because the water inside of a nuclear reactor is kept at near boiling temperatures at all times. most reactor designs DO use a ton of water. the closed loop gets recirculated through the reactor in a BWR/PWR, but the open loop which is clean due to the heat exchangers does not all get recirculated, if at all. data centers must work at much cooler temperatures, and sometimes that means exchanging water with a heat sink like a pond or lake as many power plants do
>>534931842Kill yourself you fucking faggot. This continent is mottled with dry lakebeds, such as Lake Owens. Many places like the deserts of Utah receive almost all of their water via rivers. Rain and condensate is not enough to replenish local wetlands. There’s basically no river left on earth that hasn’t had its hydrology altered by man. We’re gonna keep using more and more of their water, the end result being places along these rivers begins to dry. You’re actually retarded, and if you’re not a troll please just kill yourself, your stupidity makes you an actual burden

>>534934962>into the immediate areaEven if it did it's not going to be this 1:1 sort of ratio of use and return. Deep water aqueducts don't just instantly refill. Even lake and river based water resources require rainy seasons and heavy snow pack.You can easily over run your yearly supply with large scale consumption. As gov then tells residence to cut shower times, water less etc. Despite residential water use being well under 10% of supply. See this shit in CA all the time now.As if the 10% is the problem and not 70% going to water guzzling crops like Almonds that are just shipped off to China or alfalfa going to the middle east. Just wait, soon data center areas could get higher water bills and instructions to shower less. Ya know, being big daddy corp AI needs to keep pushing out AI rule 34 shit...

>>534933940>why would i heat the ground from my bathroom
Okay, anons, this topic is a hard one. There are so many of these luddites that oppose human progress that you can't believe their words. But then, the water thing seems really serious. So Who is right? What is going on? I just want to know the truth
1.5 quadrillion gallons of fresh water falls on america every yearinstead of banning stuff in america because it uses water, why not become better at collecting the water
>>534924677I've gotta be honest, who cares?Really?The Earth is 70% water. You want to know how much that is?370 quintillion gallons of water. AI "guzzled" 30 million gallons of water over several months apparently, yeah cool, so how long do we have before we run out of water.Oh? 1.0866667e+13?I think we'll be fine.
>>534931842It gets carried to wet areas which already have too much rain, increasing floodingto be crystal clear:water that evaporates into the atmosphere gets carried to the same wet spots as all the other water in the atmosphere does, while leaving dry spots dry like beforeThe area you evaporate water from keeps getting the same amount of rain, while the rainy areas get even more rain than before.
>>534928241>>534938305Or you could also use the heated data center cooling water outflow as a preheater for the steam turbine cycle of power plants
>>534936195Why don't they just use distilled or recycled moisture? Get one of those stupid machines that creates water from the air? Contract companies to put them in like Walmarts or something and places that are highly concentrated with people and let people's breathing pay the water cost. Fucking environmentalists want to ban everything. Thanks to people like you our straws fall apart in our drinks after 20 min and they charge us for paper bags to put our groceries in now.
>>534938578>this doesnt worksteam turbine, depending on pressure, is hundreds of celsiusdata center cooling... wait, if its gpus, it might actually be usable, they run 85-110 deg C core temp standard on full load
>>534924677They should use the warm water to create public bathhouses
>>534924677Why dont they just put them in the ocean then?Defeats climate change because water levels go down and gives easy access to fish.
>>534938578>>534938747damn this is worth millions... or not?idk, it physically couples a process that also financially pays off for both partiesyoure welcome, or something
Hello ? >>534938389
of course poltards love data centers and ai. this is the epstein board and he funded peter thiel after all.

>>534939064>dont build data centers in nevada>or california>or arizonabillions vs millions>dont cry for me, desertinacheck out sand storage for electricitythat needs hot areas
>>534924677>Another episode of "Leftists don't understand how water works"They also think that when cows drink water, that water is permanently destroyed. Instead of, you know, turning into piss which then turns back into water thanks to evaporation.
>>534939334that works out to 35 million gallons every minute, exceeding the headline of OP
>>534939334I don't understand irony. I just want to know the truth. There are people that hate progress and Will always oppose AI. The mainstream media is already showing sad stories of people not having enough water. But when I was a kid in middle school, our teachers made US watch that Al Gore documentary that It was all a lie. So what is It? Are Data Centers really a danger? The best minds are working on AI so It doesnt make sense that they would do something so dangerousI need to know the truth
>>534939304retarded migger faggot. all the big names in ai are jews and anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together can find that out in 5 minutes of research
>>534927918>Water gets evaporated at a higher rate than it condensates in that areaRuh rohAlso, do there facilities just treated, drinkable water or water straight from the river?
>>534939403no i trust there are politicians, who have no clue, and techbros, who have no clue, about the other guys domain, and just yolo it out>(not necessarily leftists)yeah those guys might be a bit screwedthey should have to give back their toys
I hope Iran bombs every data center
>>534924797trump deregulated construction and operation of data centers.in closed loop systems the water becomes toxic in multiple different ways and is very expensive to deal with once it needs to be disposed of.
>>534933631You’re getting attacked for the freezing comment but this system is regularly used. Temp of soil is consistently about 55deg f. It’s called geothermal and it is regularly used to reject heat.
>>534939537>I need to know the truthyarr memeflaggot yarr
>>534929259Most heat rejection systems don’t generate steam unless the steam is intended for a useful purpose. Typically you would increase the amount of water and intentionally not create steam.
>>534924677LMAOMAOHow's it feel to get FAAAAARKEDBIAAAAATCHYou fuckin democrat scum ain't got what we call MANIFEST DESTINYThe thing is, you cant grab life by the FARKIN BAWLS.You sit there crying like a little FAGGOTWhile Right Wing Gigachads slap their gigantic cock on the table and shake the earth.How's it like, tranny lover, knowing we're killing tens of thousands of muzzie faggots every year with our BIG FUUUCKIN BOMBSAnd you just have to sit there looking like pic related:)
>>534924677how are they not paying for the water? how does that make any sense? can't wait until the people profiting from this disaster are pulled from their beds at night for crimes against humanity.
>>534934962I can believe it but why? Why does it cool differently than any other heat rejection system from hvac to nuclear power?
>>534933878best part is that place the blame for the ruined environment on the masses in the process.
>>534940001>geothermalno, that is waaay deeper, and for steam turbinesthe wikipedia article is so... curious, in that the heat comes from radioactive decay in the earths core... exclusively, apparentlyi think it was 10ft or 10m, at which the ground temperature becomes pretty much stable all year around, thats the effect being exploitedin winter, this definitely works directlygeothermal is still very much in its infancy, since it is so new, its still best done at geysirs and shiet, and not simply drill hole into ground and use lava
>>534924797>There's no reason aside from cost as to why these data centers can't run on a closed loop cooling system.exactlyall regulators and representatives need hanged yesterday
>>534924876It’s thirsty.
>>534940266>thats the effect being exploitedin consumer home heat exchangers("ground heat pumps?")geothermal is electricity, though *strictly* speaking, youre probably not wrongthe constant ground temperature at very shallow depths is the outermost rim of effect of it, true
>>534940294You need to keep sucking green cock.
>>534924997Why not just put the data centers where it’s already cold like Alaska?
>>534924677yeah because your a faggotmerican and you fell for it again. trump works for these AI fags. good work
>>534924677What the fuck are they doing with water? Are they running a nuclear reactor inside? Can't they cool their systems with air?
>>534940573>move data centers to Antarctica>use ice to cool>0 impact and new fresh waterIt’s like they didn’t even think when they were designing these
>>534940266Maybe it’s industry slang in America but we also refer to heat rejection/absorption in shallow wells (less than 300 ft) as geothermal. The consistent underground temp allows heat rejection in the summer and heat absorption in the winter. I’ve only heard the geothermal like you’re talking about used in places with a lot of volcanic activity like Iceland.
>>534940404>>534940788Yeah seems like we’re just talking past each other. We refer to ground source heat pumps as geothermal in the US, probably because we don’t have true geothermal.
>>534933878yeah I didnt ask for this you cocksucking jew
>>534934962I don't think that's true, I think you need that to be believed so that you can keep being outraged for the complete wrong reasons."hurr durr muh water!"RETARD! Focus on the SURVEILENCE STATE that these data centers are really for! You think it's for generating dancing cat videos? It's for parsing terabytes of data on (you) and me and every other person, tracking your entire life and predicting your behavior for law enforcement and marketing reasons.
>>534940722Why not put them on the coast or next to a lake like power plants and just run the water through with no evaporative cooling? Is the government just artificially reducing their water costs? No way using millions of gallons a day at typical rates wouldn’t bankrupt them
>>534933878>I’m personally setting up hundreds of data centersWtf I’m Sam Altman now
>>534933878>you run the data center, not the elites>that’s why the elites want you deadwut
>>534940404>geothermal>The Earth has an internal heat content of 1031 joules (3·1015 TWh), About 20% of this is residual heat from planetary accretion; the remainder is attributed to past and current radioactive decay of naturally occurring isotopes.[16]>For example, a 5275 m deep borehole in United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project in Cornwall, England, found granite with very high thorium content, whose radioactive decay is believed to power the high temperature of the rockthose radioactive elements are byproductsmetal compression creates infrared radiation while attempting to keep structureby the way>who HAS seen the coredeepest was 10km or so the russians dug, and the ground was waaay softer than anyone expectedwe might not have fusion in the planets corebut some process that creates heavy radioactive isotopes due to extreme pressure and density>did you just insult the entirety of geologywaygner my ass, faggots
>>534940256So is that faggot
>>534940702why would a nuclear reactor need water cooling but not a colossal heat generating array of electronics? what mechanism, in your mind, makes water the go-to choice for one form of cooling but not another?
>>534941024Quick Jewgle search says that 20% used closed loop cooling, which should be the norm. My guess is that ocean/lakefront real estate is very expensive (should be obvious) compared to farmlands in the middle of nowhere.
>>534940901no you guys have real(er) industrial geothermal, including for district heating, but far fewer (home) heat pumpsyellowstone is pretty optimal for that, of course its prolly out in the middle of nowhere (where energy is needed) and then also wildlife protection etc etc
>>534925188Fuck you leave my wasteland alone.>>534939726> Toxic, expensive, needs to be dealt withSounds like a problem for the data center to solve and pay for, and for my local government to hold a gun to their head to make sure it gets solved properly and paid for (by the data center) and not by me. If they can't build a data center that doesn't fuck with my environment and doesn't leave me paying for it, then they can go fuck off. Too bad politicians fear being cut off from their bribes more than they fear the people that elected them.
>>534941106Neat, didn’t know the core was radioactive
>>534924677its almost like the ai agenda is pure evilanyone supporting it is a fucktard it will not spare a single personit wants to merge everything and everyone into itselfit will not share power.you have been warned.
>>534941008You're right, it really is about that. Just more manmade horrors for the vanity of the rich and powerful.
>>534941280yeah theyre saying 80% of core heat is from radioactive decay of elementsim saying>gravity creates compression>compression creates heat and radioactive isotopes>ultimately from gravitymeaning the radioactive isotopes are part of a transitory process of heat generation in the earth's core, they propagate the energy, they are not a starting reservoir like minerals or ores or coal or oil on the surface, it directly harnests one of the four fundamental forces of nature
>>534940702data centers produce more heat than nuclear reactors do
>>534941198Fair enough. Really seems like a problem that could be solved in minutes if we had any functional institutions left.
>>534941215Air source heat pumps are quickly becoming the norm over here. Ground source isn’t being adopted as quickly. It’s fairly common in commercial systems but the upfront cost is usually prohibitive for residential. Fair point about Yellowstone but yeah it’s too remote. Besides Hawaii I can’t think of any urban areas with nearby volcanic activity.
>>534941458Well, on top of it being expensive my guess is that it’s mostly privately owned. Are you going to be the guy that eminent domains all that property to put data centers down?Not arguing against your point more so speaking to the reality of a business that’s trying to make money.
>>534924677Thats how much water California takes from the colorado river to produce one pistachio.
It's cool, though, because once we hit AGSI it will tell us how to make water from thin air with replicators like in Star Trek. Just trust in the nu-age AI god, anon
>>534939726Do you know why it becomes toxic? Is it treated with chemicals or is it somehow contaminated in the heat exchangers? I’m not sure why they would need glycol if they’re producing that much heat, especially in California.
>>534941456>infrared photons overlap>creating interference patterns>that manifest in... gamma rays?>that bust out nucleidessomething like thateven if its once every hundred billion atoms, how many are there in the core, ffsthis also explains the 16 and 26s microseismsmuch like centrifugal in a pot with shallow water, the same happens in reverse with a force acting in opposite direction, i.e. mirror-inverted around radial center from the rimand this is constant rotary angular momentumthat in turn drives the planet's rotation> 86167 (sidereal) seconds / 26s = ca. 3333.33...> 26s / 16s = ca. golden ratiothere's something thereyou probably heard it here first
>>534941638I mean pass a law or have the epa update its standards to prevent open loop cooling systems. They won’t because they’re bought and paid for but if we still had functional institutions this wouldn’t be an issue. I’m also not sure how the data centers can afford to buy that much water without subsidies.
>>534936362You just outted yourself as a subhuman redditor tourist with the captcha comment (but Im not going to tell you how it works). And your argument is basically that we should allow....the internet....especially US data, to be controlled and owned by foreign countries/companies. Explain why you think that would be a boon for us.
>>534941769>this also explains the 16 and 26s microseismsyou know its much too regular to be the oceanratherwhat drives the oceanis the samethat drives those microseisms
>>534941925>EPAHAHAHAHAHA thats funny Conservatives said the Federal government is bad thats why Trump got his South African buddy Elon Musk to implement DOGE and completely decimate federal watchdog agencies like EPA that would have effectively stopped wasteful shit like we are currently seeing with these AI Data centers.>>534942164Faggot the captcha was never this fucking retarded and only a faggot would pay to avoid captchas.

>>534941769Kind of skimmed through the thread. Think I have an idea of what you're talking about. Kind of sounds like the Ironstar theory. How Blackdwarf stars in the far future will slowly transmute into Iron. Even though main fusion ended long ago, due to random quantum tunneling, the extreme densities, and over extreme periods of time. The star will eventually turn into iron before collapsing unto a neutron star.

>>534941767>Is it treated with chemicalsessentially yes. high heat degrades that water, screws up PH which in turn ruins cooling infrastructure and introduces biological contaminates.chemicals are added to neutralize this which itself eventually renders the water unusable. one of the most costly expenses of doing business is consultation for and disposing of toxic waste.instead of using a million gallons a day they would use 25 thousand gallons a day but then need to pay the constant consultation and toxic disposal fees.
>>534924854It disappears forever and is permanently destroyed.
>>534925114Wrong they use evaporative cooling nigger. Then when they've evaporated most of the water they send the other 10% now contaminated water right down the drain.

What exactly is a data center?
>>534941008These data centers aren't for processing surveillance data, they're for handling the extreme amount of bandwidth consumed by videos over the internet. AI is nothing compared to video streaming.
