Water is essential and we keep fucking with it. Sewage, mining/fracking debris, data centers, runoff, garbage.

IMO evaporative cooling should be illegal at a certain scale. Water is valuable.

They should be forced to use salt water for their AI data center cooling, and use the evaporated water to get fresh water.

I fear the environmental impact of replacing tubes and fixing leaks etc would be greater than the what we win on fresh water.
Don’t understand me wrong, the idea is pretty good, but salt water is no joke to manage, especially when you vepe it, I mean the salt goes anywhere.

They would be free to build desalination plants before feeding the water into their data centers.
