Oh good. Let's go ahead and approve another 50 data centers. I'm everything will work out just fine.

The amount of water on Earth is unchanged for millions of years. If there is a water shortage somewhere, it's generally a place where there never was much water, or the population exceeds the natural water sources - like California, Nevada, Arizona and parts of Texas.

Don't remember that, but do know about the claims that Nevada's lakes will go dry shortly.
As for Lake Travis, it will likely be overfilled this year with the Super El Nino.

Just like most cars, they use a radiator system and cool and recirculate / not down the drain.
Most PSC’s are requiring the data centers electric bills reduce consumer bills.

The is the problem in Texas and our politicians have zero plans to deal with it. I was hoping things would get bad enough to do something about it but this will just enable the grift even more.

I do. Anyone with common sense realized it was due to fluctuation's in weather patterns that didn't favor a man made lake (reservoir) in central texas being completely full year round.
Anyhow - I am genuinely happy for the owners of property on Lake Travis. It must truly be miserable to have a piece of property on a lake like that and not be able to fully utilize it. Long time coming.

Watch out for the data centers with no closed loop system.

Isn't more water lost from ground seepage than evaporation in one of them big lakes?

I know multiple people on Lake Travis that have barely been able to put their boat in the water the last 5 years.
It’ll be back down to usual before September.

My god. You people probably still warn soldiers to keep their powder dry and their muskets clean.
Technology advances. They are recirculating cooling water / glycol.

Globally, this is false. Locally, it has changed due to overuse and pollution. Neither of which have anything to do with global warming.

The Gulf States, especially Dubai and Saudi, are draining their aquifers dry. We recently cut a deal with Saudi to help them enrich uranium. I foresee lots of coastal nuclear power plants in the Gulf that will do desalination double duty.

Almost all of the water on the planet is in the oceans…97%. Another 2% is in the polar ice caps. The 1% of the water that is temporarily on land or underground is sporadically and sometimes randomly distributed, and only by rain which is greatly affected by ocean currents, ocean temperatures, ambient land/air temperatures, topography and many other things.
It is a fools errand to celebrate or bemoan temporary changes in land water quantities, as we simply must adjust to changes instead of trying to force stasis on a complex system
