Now that Climate Change has been declared a hoax, here is the next fake shiny object hoax

Data Centers!
Did you know that the amount of water needed to run a data center is no more than the amount of water that is needed to run a commercial office building? I would not have known this if I only got my news online.
Did you know that foreign countries are paying millions of dollars to online influencers to try to out Trump? Swap that with Data Center Doomers
Did you know that the entire Green New Deal was a great big scam? So is this hoax about how data centers are going to destroy the world bullshite hoax
We are all being manipulated from foreign adversaries online that data centers are the boogie man because foreign leaders do not want us dominating AI, so what do they do?
They have been pushing fake news propaganda with lies about how bad data centers will be hoping to change American public perspective about the big bad and mean data centers.
This video got me down a rabbit hole and from what I have learned is that these data centers are actually harmless, clean and they don't use nearly the amount of water that everybody has been tricked into believing - it's another hoax.
Down vote me away if can't handle the truth sometimes

The biggest problem with data centers isn't any perceived environmental impact.
It's the fact that they gets millions in tax breaks while adding essentially no long term employment or general benefit to the community they are in.

That isn’t true and I am a big fan of data center business since I get to engineer them.
Posted on 5/24/26 at 8:36 pm to FLTech
My problem is the harvesting of data and likely getting local tax benefits and federal grants to build them.

LMFAO.......
Anything, anybody, anytime....., when the USA is progressing under Doanld Trump, the LEFT is determined to debunk the success! Disgusting!
Fetterman is the only DEM that appreciates good things for the whole country.
Guess what, it just makes MAGA and the entire USA stronger!
The progressive-left is imploding, and they do not see it!

I'll be honest with ya.. not really paying attention about these data centers, I just assumed that they could be an issue due to their size, WATER USAGE, electrical usage, etc but from what I have learned about them tonight (not just from this video) is that they are harmless.. they do not use the amount of water that everybody claims and that it will not have any impact whatsoever on driving up costs for electricity

The local and Fed governments who subsidize these projects are the problem. If a data center was to help the citizens in some obscure way, sure by all means help the project.
But it will inevitably put people out of work.
Affect the environment.
Pollute the environment.
We’ll realize minimal tax revenue from these centers.

Data system water usage 100% depends on the technology used to reject heat from the system. Evaporative cooling is a horrible waste of water west of Beaumont Texas. It must be outlawed. Data centers do have commercial available alternatives, just cost a bit more capital.

Do you drive and use GPS? Can a human scan a sheet of a million line item in under a couple of seconds?
You are looking at AI with your doom and gloom colored glasses on. AI was developed to make all of our lives easier and better. There will still be humans needed to run the AI.
People act like a hospital for example is going to be nothing but robots and AI. People act like one day robots will be teaching schools and universities.. people act like one day they are going to go to work at their engineering firm and be replaced by robots and AI that magically runs on its own.
Sure, AI might take a way some jobs like web designing, creating movies, creating music, or SEO or graphics or whatever designing but the truth is, AI sucks without a human actually prompting the AI the proper way and that is what people need to be learning now if they don't want to lose their jobs
I always say.. an AI is only as good as the prompt fed into it. Who feeds it? Humans

Ai music is bringing work to Nashville not replacing it - all of my clients use ai for demos but end up hating them because there isn’t a soul and that’s what makes music music. But now a lot of people are able to write songs etc and then they come to Nashville to have humans do it. We’ve never been busier.
And the big entertainment companies will fire you if they find out you used ai - You can’t copyright ai music and these companies don’t want to get sued and want to own their ip. Apps are about to drop that will tell you what original songs the ai stole from. Lawsuits are about to hit people using ai to make music hard.

The sales tax exemptions for the three data centers currently under construction in LA are going to cost about $10 billion over the minimum 20 year period. Most of the promised jobs will be automated before the data centers are online.
Almost any use of the thousands of acres these things will take up would have a better cost benefit. They are crappy projects.

Well, thats a lie
So I take the OP with a lot of skepticism now. Just ask the people of Va. They booted the sitting Lt Guv from the governors race because she never addressed the rising costs of utilities to the citizenry, due to the breaks the data centers were getting. And elected an absolute loon, who cant seem to read her own constitution. Heres receipts

Voters facing skyrocketing electric bills turn ire toward politicians in New Jersey and Virginia

Utility bills are exceeding some mortgages in West Virginia
quote:
Utility costs surpass rents, mortgages in parts of Appalachia. West Virginians are angry and perplexed over soaring utility costs in one of the most energy-rich, yet poorest, corners of America.

Electricity bills in states with the most data centers are surging
quote:
68 hyperscale facilities that each use at least 50 MW of electricity—as much as a small city. The biggest can use 5 GW or more.
quote:
In Virginia, data center companies receive exemptions for sales and use taxes on equipment and software if they invest more than $150 million in capital investment. In addition, many localities offer reduced personal property taxes on data center computers and related equipment.
Data center strategist Allen Tucker has tracked data center activity in Virginia for more than 20 years. He recently compiled data on net absorption for data centers. Northern Virginia data center leasing accounted for 62% of the megawatts absorbed in the top six U.S. markets

No different than carbon capture.

Only within a specific framework.
Let's say we're talking about a mid-range data center. That's going to take in ~20k-30k gallons per day if it's a closed-loop system whereas a 500k square foot office space will take in ~20k-50k per day. Within that framework, you are correct but that's a pretty small frame.
The problem is that many centers aren't built with those because of cost to install and maintain, plus they take more energy to operate. Evaporative systems cost less in both aspects but pull a frickton more water. For example, that same mid-range data center running an evaporative system can pull 100k-300k gallons per day.
Large ones like the one up in Holly Ridge can take up to 1M gallons per day.

Yeah, I’ve already seen the onslaught data center propaganda being pushed.
Was there a sizable portion of the USAID money going to push climate scam?
