HealthRanger(@HealthRanger):Yes, data centers consume MASSIVE amounts of water. Currently tens of billions of gallons per year, soon to reach HUNDREDS of billions. And that doesn't even count the water used in the power generation. Huge amounts of water are needed to produce nuclear power, gas turbine power and coal power. Only solar and wind consume no water. New AI-illustrated infographic explains the risk. 100% of the prompt was created locally. The image itself was rendered in the cloud, but I already have a mechanism to take that local also.
