- - - Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly said the revised forecast for power needs in Georgia showed power use in the state increasing 17 times. New demand, not total demand, is projected to increase 17 times. The article also misspelled the name of the agency that advocates for Maryland ratepayers. It is the Maryland Office of People’s Counsel. The article has been corrected.Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Was
Interesting, what do you think they turn the water into?
maybe a lot of evaporation.
or the temperature difference might be bad in some way to the surroundings.
the secrecy is what makes me suspicious
I’m wondering if there are losses of water. Like leaks etc. If it’s a really large amount of water even a small percentage could be a lot. I’m really just spit balling here though really. I think that’s a pretty efficient use of water actually. The thermal conductivity is high compared to air and any cooling techniques which don’t include AC are surely better overall.
A water leak would either ruin the equipment if indoors or ruin the equipment if outdoors and not refilled on time. Considering those servers are their bread and butter, I’m going to assume they’re going to fix any leaks pretty quickly.
There’s lots of places these systems can leak that aren’t a big deal. They almost definitely leak to some degree. They also likely leak less than the municipal water supply does.
