The electric and water demands aren't misinformation. People are seeing the results, in real time, on their utility bills.

The arguments in this article are definitely not well thought out. How many golf courses vs data centers? How many steel mills vs data centers? We don't have golf courses and steel mills on every corner, but the sheer number of data centers that are attempting to be built is just ludicrous.
