Once again: stop letting them use potable fucking drinking water it makes no sense
I thought the majority of their water consumption is indirect via electricity consumption. If we could stop burning freaking coal that would be a start.
But yes, also stop using potable water for evaporative cooling!!
a majority use closed loop water systems. they use like an 8th of the water almond farming uses. its all marketing, the hype and the hate. they both need to go away
Hey, making food is something we need. Hallucination bots are a new, unnecessary use of water in a time when water is already becoming scarcer due to global warming. Stop sane washing their massive waste, thanks!
