In theory we have elected representatives looking out for their constituents. Surely they would limit water use so this wouldn’t happen, and prevent the datacenters from relying on generators while waiting for power hookup, right? Oh, a red state. Never mind

In my country, I know of two cases of datacenters that use waste water. And another is supposed to run on salt water, in the future. Those cases don't trouble me.
