Data centers consume massive amounts of water – companies rarely tell the public exactly how much
"In 2023, U.S. data centers consumed 17 billion gallons (64 billion liters) of water directly through cooling, and projects that by 2028, those figures could double – or even quadruple."

_Absolute Proof That Whiteness Means Capitalism_
The left's apparent bigotry against whites (and men, and heterosexuality, etc) is actually all about delegitimizing the groups who most strongly favor individual liberty, limited government, private property, merit-based resource allocation, and the free market.
The left considers all those things to be the essential elements of what it calls "capitalism"; the meaning of that term to the left is NOT the same as it is for everyone else.
FTA: Sometimes the left says the quiet part so loudly, only the most dense people will refuse to listen.
Such is the case with this clip.
When the left says “whiteness,” they are not talking about skin color.
They’re talking about SYSTEMIC RACISM, or the SYSTEM that upholds RACISM.
That system is capitalism.

Sal, the Head Chef in our Kitchen made a couple varieties of Wraps for my lunch and he did it early because I have to take my lunch with me today.
I'm heading out to Long Lake with the Geologist as he is taking more readings in the area we are looking for underground openings we could potentially lose our lake in. Better Safe than sorry.
He and I are having lunch together today. There is a beautiful look out spot near there. The lake will hold around 400 acres of water when filled and the deep area will be about 35 feet to 40 feet deep. There will be a beach along one side and there will be fishing all around it.
We are building a Recreational area there for all of us at the Ranch to enjoy. But first, we have to dig it out and fill it.
Part of the dig has already been lined with Bentonite Clay to seal the bottom. We drilled a 6 inch well, 600+ feet deep just for filling the lake. The well will keep the lake full, all the time.
There will be a spill way leading to an area we want to plant tall Bamboo that will not freeze out in the winter. We'll see how that works!
