@accountability.updates: OpenAI and Oracle are building Project Jupiter, a 1,400 acre data center campus, just miles from Roberto's farm in the Southwest. The companies claim only an 11 million gallon one time fill is needed to cool four buildings at startup. That number covers construction phase cooling, not ongoing daily water draw once the facility is fully operational and running AI workloads at scale. Local farmers are asking the obvious question on record: if data centers pull water at the volumes being projected across the region, what happens to irrigation allocations for agriculture. This is playing out as a resource competition between big tech infrastructure and food production in an already water stressed Southwest. Watch the clip. The claim is on screen, the location is named, the companies are named. Judge the gap between the one time fill figure and what full operation actually requires. No vague outrage here, just the numbers and the question nobody in the room has fully answered yet. #datacenters #wateraccountability #openai #agriculture #civicaccountability
