.@ amazon @ awscloud -COULD- have used CLOSED-LOOP #water #cooling, but -CHOSE- to use EVAPORATIVE #cooling instead - which CONSUMES large amounts of water and POLLUTES it too! AWS maintains that evaporative cooling is more #energy-efficient for their current operational design. Residents want AWS to supply its own energy, if necessary, and LEAVE THEIR WATER ALONE! Wall Street Apes @ WallStreetApes X Amazon Web Services wants to release water from its data centers into Louisa County's natural water sources, including Lake Anna in Virginia “The draft permit on the table would give Amazon Web Services permission to release 280,000 gallons a day of cooling water from its data centers into Sedges Creek, which flows into Lake Anna. Amazon says it would only use this method during the hottest periods, which it predicts to be 4% of the year.” The released water is MUCH WARMER than the water it will be dumped into, which means it will likely KILL the #fish population and everything else adapted to the current #environment. Also, Amazon says the water doesn’t touch servers, but I found that doesn’t matter. Treated Non-Contact Cooling Water: Does not touch servers directly, but it picks up metals like zinc, copper, aluminum, and cadmium. This would be catastrophic. https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2066703308556001573/video/1
