NEW: Big Tech claims AI data centers don’t use much water. But data centers typically report the water used inside the facilities — we found them indirectly consuming 10x that amount. We went to the drought-stricken West, where farmers now have to fight AI oligarchs for water.

Bill Maher on Data Centers: “To put it in perspective… golf uses WAY MORE [water than data centers]. Golf and f*cking raising… almonds is the thing we raise here. Like almonds and golf, I’m against both of them.” “I’m not against almonds I’m against raising them where we don’t have water to do it. And it’s like 7 TIMES the amount of water is being used on golf courses [than data centers].” “So maybe the issue itself is water.”

AI Data Centers are consuming way too much water. It’s very concerning. The next wars won’t be fought for natural resources. But for survival.

🚨DeSantis to unveil legislation RESTRICTING AI DATA CENTERS in the coming days! “In some parts of the country they're building massive hyperscale data centers that take a million gallons of water. We want our water to be for the general public, and not bogarted in that way.”

They found a loophole the tech barons didn’t expect. One county used the 2024 NDAA to stop a data center because these projects depend on foreign supply chains tied to China. If we organize, we can protect our land, our water, and our future. Join the movement to stop AI data centers >> #Texas #AIDatacenters #ProtectTexas #Water

🚨 JUST IN: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has just BANNED AI data centers from using up all the water needed by citizens during a drought And the law BANS utility companies from charging higher prices because of data centers "How are you going to say that somehow the water can go to a data center when we need to water for our own people and for the core functions of our society?"

The U.S. already has 5,500 data centers that use 449 million gallons of water a day. They’re being built on farmland so in addition to taking away our water they’re taking away our food supply all for mass surveillance, AI slop, and to make billionaires richer. These data centers will ultimately lead to our extinction if we don’t stop them.

.Mayor Matt Mahan announces his plan to regulate AI data centers. “Ensuring that any new data centers pays to upgrade our infrastructure for everyone else. Use the cleanest energy, invest in recycled water systems." "We can’t have the profits of this industry be built on the backs of working people or environmental destruction. We have to get this right.”

DATA CENTERS & INDUSTRIAL GROWTH Utah continues to approve water-intensive data centers during a prolonged drought. I asked the governor: How do you justify that level of industrial water demand, and should water availability become a limiting factor for future development approvals?

Georgia is basically turning into one large data center Get ready for this, there is no legal obligation for data centers to disclose how much water they will be using - Georgia currently has about 162 data centers already - They have an additional 141 new data centers planned - Combined these data centers will use 12+ GW or more of power, this is equivalent to the usage of 10 MILLION homes - Combined water usage estimate of 35+ billion gallons per year or higher Absolutely insane There is no comprehensive federal requirement for data centers to publicly report detailed water usage. A bill was introduced called “the Data Center Water and Energy Transparency Act” to mandate reporting of energy and water consumption to states and the EPA This is an issue, here’s one example The Quality Technology Services data center in Fayette County used 29–30 million gallons of water went unmetered and unbilled for months without initial detection. Residents complained about low pressure during drought conditions. The company later paid retroactively $150,000 but faced no fines

Erin Brockovich Warns AI Data Centers Are Draining America’s Water “Some data centers can use up to 30 million gallons of water. They’re utilizing water from the aquifers and municipal waters, so people with their own wells are reporting that their wells are running dry. They’re having to dig deeper because of these mass amounts of water that these data centers require to stay cool. People are reporting water disruptions, no water at all, low water pressure, discolored water, and utility bills going from $40 a month to $800 a month. The constant 24/7 humming and buzzing is literally driving them insane. When tens of thousands of people are experiencing the exact same thing from the exact same data centers, why are we not listening to them?” Erin Brockovich

When people say data centers use millions of gallons of water, they're describing an old technology. Before, water went into evaporative cooling towers. Warm water pulled heat off the AI chips, then evaporated into the air to shed it. It was effective, but it burned through fresh water continuously, which is where the headline numbers come from today around "data centers use a massive amount of water." The data centers we revealed at Build today don't work that way. The cooling loop is closed. Water is added once during construction and recirculates indefinitely between the servers and the chillers. No evaporation, no fresh-water resupply! Satya put the scale in plain terms: a full year of water use is roughly what a single restaurant uses. Keep in mind that for us, every liter and every watt is an optimization target. The economics and the environment push in the same direction!

Amazon agrees to pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that its data centers in Morrow County Oregon contributed to contaminating ground water with nitrate pollution in the agricultural community Here’s what happens - Amazon uses huge volumes of water to cool its data centers - Because the data centers use water that has nitrates in it from the area, water evaporates during the cooling process - What's left is highly concentrated nitrate water - That highly concentrated nitrate water then goes back out over the farmland, seeping back into the groundwater water Now imagine this nationwide on a massive scale due to thousands of data centers being built

We have the worst drought in 26 years. We’re telling farmers they can’t water their crops, but Mark Zuckerberg and George Soros can come here and build a Data Center and use 500,000 gallons of water. No. We are going to stop the Data Center invasion.

Back in February, Paul Renner called for a moratorium on AI data centers in Florida. He was right. These massive AI data centers threaten our power grid, drain our water, raise costs on families, and hand Florida’s future to Big Tech. Florida First means people first. Stand with Renner. Stop the AI data center takeover. #BigTechByron #DataCenterDonalds #BankFraudByron
