If the datacenters are in America, how are they taking drinking water from African children?

And does Poland spring water really come from Poland? If so, I have an idea!

😂 If you're joking about sending American data centers some Poland Spring, I see where you're going with this.

But no, the water used by U. S. data centers isn't being physically taken from African children. Data centers use water from local water systems or local water sources, depending on the facility. The real issue is that large data centers can put pressure on water supplies in the communities where they're located.

And yes, Poland Spring is actually from Poland... Maine. 😂 The brand says its spring water comes from various springs throughout Maine, including sources in Poland, Hollis, Fryeburg, Rumford and other Maine locations.

So unfortunately, your plan to import water from Poland to solve America's water problem has one tiny flaw. You're importing it from Maine. 😭💀

Poland spring water comes from Poland , Maine and the surrounding areas. Data centers use less water than a golf course. People don't want to ban golf courses

Indirectly. Maybe digging for the minerals needed for technology ruins the water? But still responsibility is and should be local.

morons think the computers are drinking the water.
