I hazard a guess the closed loop ones require more expensive maintenance and construction, so the cheap builds are implemented wherever these "low tax" havens don't bother sending regulators to make sure...*checks notes*...the water is filled with strontium*Roshambo » 14 Apr 2026, 10:51 am » wrote: ↑ It shouldn’t be
modern data centers use closed-loop cooling systems to efficiently manage heat while reducing water consumption. These systems circulate water or refrigerant through sealed pipes to cool IT equipment without exposing the coolant to air, minimizing evaporation. While some rely on water-intensive open-loop evaporation, many are shifting to closed-loop to reduce water use by up to 70%.
power plants cause water pollution, look that one up
It's kind of like how...AI data centers are supposed to generate their own electricity so they don't burden the general grid (Except they don't...they just leech off the general grid)...and then ChancelloR Musk was caught building these noxious gas turbines in Tennessee

The MAGATs fellated Trump and Trump gave them...AI data centers in their neighborhoods.
Fckin' morons
