I totally agree that water use is a distraction. For sure it’s a concern but mandating closed loop/recycling should solve that reasonably and not be blocking.
Similar with noise pollution. Apparently it’s there more that I’d expect but it seems simplest just to put noise limits
Other ways datacenter sprawl externalizes their cost to everyone else are harder to address - which ought to be blocked. We need to be more concerned with air pollution, electricity prices, and building ever more “dead mall” blight.
