Reposted by @dani711.bsky.socialMike Boylan-Kolchin @mbkplus.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think we need to differentiate between “AI uses a lot of water!” (not necessarily bad on its own) and “AI stresses local water supplies” (a potentially real issue). The distinction is important because even “modest” use can cause serious issues, especially given the locations of data centers 1760195
