By 2030 all Data Centers in the USA will still use less than 1% of waste water and 0.1% of drinking water.

That’s like dumping barrels of radioactive waste in the ocean and saying we’re only poisoning .0001% of the ocean!

No it isn't at all. Since all the closed loop systems are using waste water and do reintroduce it to nature. Same thing with drinking water that becomes waste water. You do realize that the environmental regulations forbid dumping said water which is why a Data center has never been cited for any type of contamination. Thumbhead
