It wants to draw perhaps up to a million gallons of water daily from our city to cool their behemoth complex. I say perhaps because we don’t really know because they haven’t made public their plans.

During a global freshwater crisis, with droughts in multiple places, the greedy data centers and AI are demanding cheap water, and also demanding that citizens not be told how much water they're using.
