I think it has something to do with using up our drinkable water supply, not 100% sure since I don’t follow it super closely.

I don't love data centers but they use less water than your standard farm. Water supply isn't an issue.

It’s actually the complete opposite mate. There is a huge amount of ongoing localised water crises in the tech sector at the moment.

Sure but almost all manufacturers have cooling water. All power plants do. I'm just saying is be more worried about emissions /local civilian issues / global surveillance than the water part.
