@azdailyvibes: Arizona already has 118 data centers and dozens more pending, and yeah, we're still the ones in a drought. New report out this month says these facilities could push water usage from 4.5 billion gallons a year to 7 billion, that's basically water for 200,000 people just to keep servers cool. Add AI into the mix and utilities across the Interior West are looking at power demand climbing 4.5% a year instead of the usual 1%. So next time your electric bill looks weird or the water restrictions get tighter, this is part of the why. Nobody's said who's actually footing the bill yet, but you already know it's not the data centers. #ArizonaDrought #PhoenixNews #DataCenters #ArizonaWater
