Instead, all that money is being used to accelerate our doom. AI datacenters unnecessarily consuming power and drinking water in small towns everywhere. Many just dumping humidity into the air and letting that water literally blow away via lazy evaporative cooling. Most “normal” water consuming processes consume, treat, and return water to the downstream-traveling aquifer.

Now, couple that with an overall warming climate. When air is warmer, the more moisture the air can hold. So we end up with more water vapor in the air than normal. With the weirding factor of climate change, this means more water energy for more powerful and destructive storms the likes of which humanity has never seen. Which feeds back into more ice melting, oceans rising, permafrost melting, cycle, accelerate, cycle, accelerate.

Also, real curious to see how millions of warehouses belching humidity and heat into the air across the surface of the globe can affect the general weather patterns, but that sadly won’t be known until after the damage is done.
