Ryan.T :

Yall act like the water is just gone. Like it doesn’t get evaporated back into the environment

Izzy Salhani :

How about no data centers

Caleb Barczak :

Nestle uses more water that all data centers combined

Judge Kitten (MTG) :

this is so disingenuous because none of them are consuming the water. every single one is a closed system.

Will :

This video is slightly misleading. Almost all data centers in the USA use less water per day than a golf course. Newer ones are even closed loop. I know I’ll get attacked for this…

caveman83zim2 :

Better plan , let's just not have the data centers

Fast Eddie :

Look up how much water golf courses consume every day in the United States

bob :

cant we just shove it underground or something

Escaped Psycho :

Space isn't really viable with the excess heat generated and the difficulty in shedding that heat in a vacuum. What they need to do is use salt water cooling and convert cargo ships into floating data centers. They can tether to offshore wind turbines for power and people can still service them without a rocket ship.

s.g.kubrak :

It won’t happen. More than likely on the oceans if anything. Much cheaper.

joshnya :

There are non-water coolants that can be used. Yes, they're more expensive but they should be forced to use those instead of a finite natural resource.

Richie Rich :

Data centre cooling systems are closed loop. Once they’re filled they don’t use anymore water 😁

paigvnc :

Wall-E is becoming reality.

mhusss__ :

did no one watch wall-e?

WayoftheWilson :

Well being able to see the universe is gonna be kinda hard if we start dying of fucking dehydration...

JRShire :

Maybe then we shouldn’t have these data centers

the_crow_lady_ :

Keep these out of the sky, It would wreck my space photos.

wafflehousepancake :

why don't they use ai to solve effective desalination . wasnt solving problems the whole point of ai to begin with?

Luis Francisco :

Falkor :

The absolute worst part is the Kessler Syndrome closer every day.

Sage :

Put them on the moon instead of in orbit 🤷🏻‍♀️

Grozny7734 :

Without air to carry the heat away, how does anything in space cool down?

mellow5358 :

They are not using fresh water any more. They are using glycol

44 dabloons :

It’s already cold in space

appleuser3946 :

We know exactly how to cool things in space. Otherwise people on the ISS would all be dead.
