Many are without safe water.
Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

Hey Texans, do you like air conditioning, running appliances, being able to shower etc. We need to demand that data centers supply their own water and electricity at their expense. This is not sustainable.

In Spain today: installation of solar panels above major irrigation channels. Channels of more than 100 kms transport water from dams to farmland.
- Reduces evaporation
-Provides large agricultural areas with power & supports irrigation
-Decreases use of water in food production, doubling the crop.
