I am beginning to believe all billionaires are nihilists. Theres seems to be a biggest push to put data centers in the most drought stricken areas which seems designed to hasten the end of
...I dont know, humanity, our planet, certainly climate as we've know it
️TESCREAL probably covers most of it.

@climatenewsnow Let's contrast that, shall we? Tucson water service area is 1.8 billion gallons a month. The fucking GOLF courses consume anywhere from 300-450 MILLION gallons. A MONTH. 37 golf courses use 8-12 million gallons EACH over the Tucson municipal area. YOU do the math.
Knock it off with the manufactured crisis bullshit. There's plenty of ways of hating on AI without having to MISREPRESENT. Also known as a 'lie by omission'. If you have to lie to make your case...You have no case.

@climatenewsnow PS: It's shit like this that opens doors for people to question your legitimacy and the larger ACTUAL legitimacy of climate shift. Yet you still stand around wondering why.
FACT CHECK YOUR MATERIAL BEFORE PUBLISHING. BASIC questions would have revealed this as a red herring. Questions like is this extraordinary by local norms? Or even a basic what ARE local norms would have revealed this as a non issue. BASIC FUCKING SCIENCE KNOWS A VALUE WITHOUT A CONTRAST IS JUST A DATAPOINT -

@tomjennings @climatenewsnow The rate only seems excessive when it's not compared to nearly ANY other sector. This was supposed to be supplementary. My principal point was made in another post. Maybe I should have linked the two accordingly. Forgive the oversight.

@tomjennings @climatenewsnow Its crap like this that allows your opponents to paint you as alarmists. This water usage by AI with how fast & widespread it's become even among restrained outlets is doing incalculable harm to your image. It's an obvious ploy letting you hang yourselves publicly.
It also illustrates what's lacking in left wing causes today. You don't have anyone removing roadblocks to your cause, so have no 'defense against the dark arts' if you'll forgive a harry potter allegory. -

AI datacenters are a blight. But this article is misleading.
The data center isn't open yet. If construction continues, it will open in 2027
