[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anybody ever driven out to northern VA to see all the data centers. It’s eerie and creepy looking. It’s sad they took all this beautiful land and destroyed it. Now VA has a SERIOUS power problem. The cost of power went up 25% in 2021. It’s only going up more. AI required fast and hot computers that need water too cool it. There is going to be a water problem soon. Right now the water use is unsustainable. It doesn’t even provide jobs to the area. [/quote] Virginia has some nuclear reactors with plans to expand. Data centers consume less water compared to other sectors. They use about 3.3% of the water consumed by golf courses. So let's shut down the golf courses first. [/quote]
