@maxleibman@beige.party [joke not missed] water is one of those weird things. Yes, there are energy costs in processing and pumping and so on, and we are slowly fixing the negative impacts of sourcing energy. But where a local area has “enough” then “using” is basically the same as not using it, it flows to the sea and cycles back as rain either way. Only when “not enough” in an area does it matter. Even data centres “using it” are just passing it along its normal cycle eventually, right.
