Suggestion for hyperscalers feeling pressure over data center water use:
Buy up a few exclusive country clubs, convert the golf courses into public parks, pay for guides and binoculars to get the previous members into birdwatching - help them embrace a more sustainable hobby!
Google used 10.9 billion gallons in 2025, so about 30 million gallons per day.
The Coachella Valley has 120 golf courses each using ~800 acre-feet per year, which is ~750,000 gallons per day.
So Google buying up 40 of those courses (1/3) should do the trick.
I got frustrated reading yet another article that was crammed with the clichés of LLM-generated writing - "no fluff, no filler, no jargon" type stuff - so I had Fable 5 vibe code up this app for highlighting ten common patterns that show up in that sort of writing.
Is there something I can actually help you with today?
