That steam is not wasted water either right?
Wasted water as in readily usable water, if they build a plant somewhere it will cut down from the natural sources and create their own thermal energy that the world has to also dispel.
Which leads to the bigger issue, all of this contributes to global warming. Along with forcing rationing of water, like dude just live one year in Cali to get a sense of water fears. It's a downward spiral, often called the singularity.
We are creating destruction of worlds for the sake of what? AI waifus? Not having to solve your own issues? To not think? We fought for the freedom to not be brainless slaves, and we hand back the reigns to the elite above us. The internet was already a beast untamed and unleashed upon children, please do not support this one.
I am not pro ai, just interested how the water gets wasted.
Think of it as if all these consumptions were due to a population increase. You are now sharing with a mouth that the government will guarantee gets fed before you. You pay more for electricity, and water. It literally just creates scarcity and issues, facilitating dependence.
