    ‘The Texas Water Development Board runs a separate, mandatory survey, yet only 17 percent of data centers answered in 2025 (despite the penalty for ignoring it being a Class C misdemeanor).’

    My YouTube feed had been a steady rotation of AI generated ads claiming that data centers use a tiny amount of water and that everyone is freaking out about nothing. So: propaganda.
