I had some questions in my mind about DCs using closed loop systems and read the article a little. In case anyone else also has similar thoughts: —-

The company said its water consumption was so high last year because of temporary construction-related activities, such as concrete work, dust control and site preparation. Once operational, the company said the data centers only will use water for domestic needs, such as bathrooms and kitchens. That will total the equivalent of what four U.S. households use per month, the spokesperson said. That may not happen for another few years, however. The company is still actively building and expanding its Fayetteville data center campus. It aims to finish in three to five years.

Private equity (Blackstone in this case).

Why am I not surprised? Sleaze through and through.
