I don’t get this. Consume water, where does that water go? Does it turn to steam because that would drastically change the weather patterns I would think.
I get the nuclear reactor use of water, it runs across and cools the system a small percentage is turned into steam to run turbines.
This is the second data center article that talks about consuming water, not just using water. If the are just using it for cooling, why are they pulling it out of the municipal system, they can build a reservoir and recirculate it the way nuclear power plants do.
