Net-zero emission goals went out the window with AI.
We need municipal datacenters that can be integrated into the municipal water departments, and municipal electrical grid. Use the hot water to provide ‘on tap’ hot water for local businesses that need it.
Huh. I run a LLM locally on my own machine. Not looking forward to my next water bill.
Have you checked your computer’s gallons per hour? I’m thinking of getting an electric myself.
In this world, we obey the law of thermodynamics. I’d love to know how this 3 bottles of water is “consumed”. Because more than likely, the water is simply being used for cooling, which doesn’t consume it at all, it just makes it warmer.
It consumes the resource of “purified, available water” which is consumed as it is no longer purified or unavailable (if evaporated). The same way nothing ever “consumes” energy, it just makes it unusable.
It’s almost like these “services” are an unnecessary blight that benefit only those that profit financially from them.
