Meanwhile this is happening. Data centers are water hogs. Desalination is very costly by the way, and will greatly raise the price of water. I think the main recourse is to call legislators and get more support for the Moratorium bill, because there is actually some sponsor support among GOPS too, and I hear that one more sponsor (?)would be enough for an immediate pause. https://datacenterpost.com/duos-edge-ai-expands-south-texas-footprint-with-corpus-christi-edge-data-center-deployment/
PS AI data centers run hotter, and need more cooling, than others. Newer ones are also much bigger.
