data centers with evap cooling use a lot of water and in some places its taking away from residents. thats a fact not a conspiracy. closed loop systems exist and its possible to make them mandatory by law or city ordinance, but if they did that the company running the data center would make a little less money so they act like pumping out water is the only way. its the same with carbon emissions and making them build solar panels.

Evaporative cooling!? Does that mean it disappears into the sky to make stars?
