I do think we need to steer the conversation to a different word like mega-datacenter. What we need people to understand is the SIZE of these mega-datacenter behemoths is outrageous. It's not just "datacenters use water" it's also "datacenters the size of small African nations need oceans of water". Datacenters have been around for decades and people should understand that their phones - analog and digital - have needed datacenters the whole time. And all of those datacenters use water for HVAC, they always have. I worked for and inside datacenters for the first half of my career and it's some of the most rewarding work I have ever done. These mega-datacenters are not the same.
