@gdelombaerde75 @contractormag Lots of rhetoric. Wish I knew who to believe…

"Data centers are draining our water" is the new "plastic straws are destroying the ocean." It's a hoax, and many people pushing it know it's not true.

At AFPI (@A1policy) we wrote a piece breaking down the numbers:

1) Data centers use very little water
> Somewhere between 0.2% and 0.5% of U.S. freshwater consumption
> 15x less water than we lose each year to leaky pipes
> The biggest data center of 2024 uses less water than 3 square miles of farmland (America has 1.3 million)

2) Local water impacts are small, too
> In one of the country’s most “water stressed” counties, data centers are 0.12% of its water use (golf courses are 3.8%)

3) This hasn’t stopped lawmakers from fearmongering about data centers
> 5 senators, including Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey, wrote a letter to the admin complaining about data center water use
> Lawmakers have introduced legislation and called for data center moratoriums because of fake water use claims. Denver might enact one soon

4) Data centers are one of America’s greatest strengths
> Huge local tax revenues
> The AI data center boom has created tremendous economic growth
> Wages in construction and the trades have skyrocketed (construction up >30% because of data centers)

We end by suggesting some ways to accelerate the data center buildout, while protecting local communities' interests.

I can’t believe we live in a world where the American Heart Association says it’s totally ok for a 2 year old to have 6 teaspoons of added sugar DAILY. This is NOT talking about natural fruit sugar (which is not considered “added sugar.” This is industrially manufactured ADDED sugar that they are giving a free pass to, and in fact, recommending. This is unconscionable - this makes parent think added sugar is fine. The sugar is addictive - this has been proven - and the AHA KNOWS that if we give a 2 year old 6 teaspoons, they WILL want more. With 50% of children with chronic disease caused by diet, WHY ON EARTH WOULD WE NOT EXPECT MEDICAL AUTHORITIES TO SAY ZERO GRAMS OF ADDED SUGAR.

Friday's disappointing July jobs data spurred a global market selloff owed to investor concerns that the decelerating, but still satisfactory, labor market may deteriorate further and harm consumer spending, which has been the engine for economic and corpo https://t.co/aKu43uyH2j

@tomowenmorgan I enjoyed reviewing this the second time, but I don’t think this provides an example of people spending money on wisdom. Though I am short on time now.

[Garr @garrschwartz]

@tomowenmorgan Provide an example of how to pay for wisdom, and I believe I can provide a significantly less expensive option. Of course knowledge doesn’t equal wisdom and knowledge is cheap.
