Programmer making an excellent argument against new Ohio data center. Well worth a watch.
@TheBreadmonkey just to note closed loop watercooling does not suddenly start consuming water, that's the same kind of stuff watercooled game PCs use
the only reason water is consumed in datacenters is when you're using open loop evap water cooling, which saves 25% of the datacenter's power to be fair, but isn't a good idea in dry areas, so they don't, they just use actual airconditioning instead. the closed loop water cooling is just what they use inside the servers because it's more efficient
