UPDATE: Improper redaction reveals Lincoln’s Google Data Center water and electricity usage
www.1011now.com
Nebraska data centers are required to turn in an annual report to Nebraska’s Department of Water, Energy, and Environment, but some state statutes are preventing the public from seeing just how much electricity and water data centers are using.

Our gov is a dumb fuck bit he did one thing right requiring them to disclose their usage information. They did but redacted the important parts. How the fuck do they get to get away with this?

    There’s a subgroup on Lemmy that will absolutely melt down if you mention data center water usage. And I can’t help but think “The Water Hoax” rhetoric churning through the LessWrong community has played a major role.

    However you square it, though, you can’t help but consider something like this peculiar.
