Millionen-Segen oder Öko-Desaster? Der heimliche Wasserraub der Tech-Giganten: Wie KI eine ganze Wüstenregion austrocknet - Xpert.Digital

Utah is facing a severe water crisis due to the rapid expansion of data centers, notably Meta's facility in Eagle Mountain, which consume billions of gallons of water annually in the second driest US state. While these centers bring significant tax revenue to local communities, their unmonitored water usage exacerbates the decline of vital ecosystems like the Great Salt Lake and Colorado River. Legislative efforts to mandate water consumption reporting face political resistance from the tech lobby.
