    They can’t even treat water with literal shit in it before dumping it back into rivers and the sea. Why would they be able to do any better with data centres.

      Well it doesn’t have literal shit in it for starters.

      If you have a water cooled pc, one end of it isn’t connected to the mains and the other end to the drain. It’s a loop. I can’t see why the same can’t be made true of data centres.

        Money is why, you expect amazon to pay extra money to setup a closed loop system when they could offset the costs to the water company?

          I don’t expect them too, I expect them to be made too. No data centres should be allowed to treat water as an infinite resource.

            I see you’re labouring under the illusion that the UK government aren’t desperate for AI cash
