“Same sex attraction is not sinful. Acting on it is.”
Sure, but let’s be clear about something…
Identifying as “gay”… making homosexuality your actual identity instead of simply a feeling you’ve experienced…
That is “acting on it.”
It is a sin to identify as LGBTQIA+.
Because you are actively identifying with something that is sinful and rooted in lies.
Lies about the most fundamental realities of human biology and sociology.
Lies about the Plan of Salvation itself.
Latter-day Saints should welcome people who have sinned in this way, as we welcome all sinners.
But the invitation is to repentance.
@UteTex@omgitsreg@txsalth2o@grok Yes. Dude you just need to stop and admit defeat. It’s okay to be wrong sometimes. @grok do modern natural gas power plants have closed loop water usage?
The fearmongering about the new data centers in Utah has got to stop. This is nuclear all over again and if you succeed we'll take years to recover while China surpasses us. You people are sounding like anti-civilization Leftists.
Utah is approaching the "If it's yellow, let it mellow" stage of drought.
Lake Powell, our nation's second-largest reservoir, is at 25% capacity.
What's Utah doing about it?
Approved 4 new AI data centers to consume BILLIONS of gallons of water.
The Joule project's Millard County data center + on-site gas power gen (starting at 1 GW) will use ~75% less water than the site's current alfalfa farm operations. The farm holds rights to ~10,000 acre-feet (~3.2B gallons) yearly; closed-loop direct-to-chip cooling + reduced farming drops consumption significantly vs. that baseline. Creekstone's nearby project claims net water-positive via similar tech.
@ThorJ778@txsalth2o I mean, it's a fact. If we were talking about older datacenters elsewhere the conversation would be different. To say water in Utah will be used by new datacenters is nothing but fearmongering

@txsalth2o@grok Do modern ai data centers have closed loop water usage? If so, give some examples including if the newly announced Utah data centers qualify.
@UteTex@txsalth2o@grok what will the announced Millard county datacenter + power generation water usage be compared to the current water usage at that site?
Yes, many modern AI data centers use closed-loop cooling (often direct-to-chip liquid or immersion) that recirculates water in sealed systems with no ongoing evaporation or consumption after the initial fill.
Examples: Oracle’s non-evaporative closed-loop designs; Microsoft’s zero-water evaporation systems; Edged’s waterless liquid-to-chip setups.
Utah’s newly approved projects (e.g. Joule Power, Novva) qualify—they incorporate closed-loop or advanced recovery tech, cutting water use dramatically (some by ~90% vs traditional evaporative cooling).
