According to market research firm Mordor Intelligence, nearly 1 trillion liters of water were consumed by AI data centers in 2025.
I'm sorry, the market research firm is named what now?

Here a neat fact: Palo Verde, a nuclear power station in Arizona that generates so much power that it is the 2nd largest power plant in the United States is cooled entitrely by the treated waste water from Phoenix.
This is to illustrate that Data centers can be designed to be environmentally friendly, its just the greedy corpo pigshit that demands they suck drinking water out of water tables to power AI that nobody wants.
How long until angry farmers attack a data center?
For the record, we use several orders of magnitude more gallons of water keeping grass and golf courses alive. This is why I hate reports with large, absolute numbers. It sounds like a lot. It's really nothing.
The AI apologists in this thread are wild to me. It's too bad they don't have access to some kinda tool that could give them information on how water tables work.
They’re in fuck around mode, they’ll eventually find out how it works.
Their plan is: they fuck around, and let the rest of us find out.
I think a lot of them know, they are just hoping to cash out before the find out phase.
Albania showed us the way. Doing nothing is a choice. Vive la revolución ✊🏼🇦🇱
