Not sure I follow the reasoning. California doesn’t have an abundance of water and there are huge water rights issues over it, making producing almonds there even more outrageous. Data centers might be built where there is more abundant water. Even in California, data centers are a fraction of a percent and shouldn’t be restricted on the basis of water usage when vastly more wasteful industries continue to exist there.
