New rule: no water cooling in DCs. Air cooling and air con.

That and some hard rules on power usage would go a long way. If the US ever updates its infrastructure, and especially for power, that should open up new, safe options that don't kill or poison people.

For the mean time, though, let's stop the insanity.

    That's quite literally impossible. The power consumption has gotten so bad that they need to water cool the AC condensers as far as I know.

    Oh and the fun fact is that they could just use closed loop water cooling instead of evaporating all that water away... But many don't because that uses more power and power is more expensive than water.
