There's definitely some negatives about data centers.

However, there's also a lot of misinformation. All the data centers in the entire USA use less than 1/20 of the water consumed by golf courses, and modern designs use closed-loop water cooling rather than the older evaporative cooling. Evaporative cooling is the type that uses a lot of water.

I live in Silicon Valley, and most of the data centers here are in Santa Clara County. 65% of the water usage by data centers is recycled water.
