Is There Enough Water To Quench The Thirst Of AI Super Data Centers?

While artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the way America does business, the number of data centers being built to meet its expanding computational demands has kicked off a construction boom.

Millions of gallons of water are needed for cooling these new data centers, a demand that has risen in lockstep with the expansion of AI support facilities.

The amount of water needed to power the data center building bonanza has triggered concerns about water supplies and groundwater safety in arid and water-stressed cities, where many of the complexes are being built.

Sergio Toro, CEO of market intelligence group Aterio, shared research with The Epoch Times that showed there are 1,827 active data centers in the United States, with another 1,726 announced and 419 currently under construction.

Hundreds of the new centers are being planned or built in areas suffering from water scarcity or prolonged drought, prompting alarm from those working in sustainable urban development and environmentalism.

Based on the findings Toro shared, 1,082 data centers are being planned or built across 10 states that are experiencing some degree of water stress.

In states grappling with acute water stress, such as Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Utah, California, and Colorado, 437 data centers are planned or are currently under construction.

The amount of water used in data centers depends on the facility type, which generally fall under one of two categories.

[Rep. Burgess Owens] confronted Georgetown President Robert Groves with a simple, pointed question:

“Would you allow a member of the KKK who wished the deaths of Black Americans to speak at Georgetown?”

“No.”

Owens didn’t let up: “So if Georgetown would disallow white supremacist bigots, why does it allow Palestinian antisemitic bigots invited by faculty or students?”

Groves had no real answer—just vague talk about diverse viewpoints.

'American Idol' music supervisor Robin Kaye, husband shot dead in LA home

“We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing."

Robin Kaye, who is a longtime music supervisor for "American Idol" as well as her husband were found shot to death in their home in LA on Monday.

LA police were called to the home after they had not been seen for several days. Both were found with fatal gunshot wounds to the head at around 2:30 pm on Monday, per Fox News.

American Idol said in a statement about the deaths, “We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing."

“Robin has been a cornerstone of the Idol family since 2009 and was truly loved and respected by all who came in contact with her. Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time," the spokesperson added. Police have not been able to determine a motive and are investigating the case as a homicide.

When officers approached the home, they saw blood near the entrance of the home and had to break through a window in order to gain access to the residence. Kaye's body was discovered by police in the pantry and Deluca was found dead in the bathroom, per Fox News. There is no word on suspects yet.

It has also been reported that police recently responded to a break in on the same property on Thursday. A neighbor said they spotted someone who jumped the fence. A the time, there was no evidence of forced entry.

Kaye had worked on 288 different episodes of "American Idol" and was a music supervisor on the show from 2002 to 2023.

“Snuff videos as a sales pitch”. Rafael boasts of human testing in Gaza death camps

Australia’s government awards rich contracts to Israeli drone makers Elbit and Rafael, which skite to investors about killing Palestinians.

Israeli weapons manufacturer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has posted a video showing an unarmed man being stalked and killed by a drone in Gaza, using the footage to advertise the weapon responsible for his death.

The video, posted to the company’s official account on X, shows a Spike Firefly loitering munition drone as it hovers above a man walking alone through the rubble of a heavily bombed area. The drone silently tracks the man before detonating directly above him, killing him instantly.

Meanwhile, a young Palestinian girl, Hala, was executed yesterday with a bullet to the the head fired by a quadcopter drone. It is even more grotesque that Israeli weapons manufacturers are crowing about their human testing labs – which are the killing fields of Gaza.

The Spike Firefly drone, first unveiled by Rafael in 2018, is a lightweight, soldier-deployed loitering munition designed for urban combat. Weighing just three kilograms, the drone is launched from a canister and can fly silently above a target for up to 15 minutes before striking with high precision.

The drone can be operated remotely with a tablet, and its camera feed allows operators to stalk targets in real time.

According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, Israel has increasingly relied on drones like the Firefly to kill civilians in Gaza since October 7, 2023, with quadcopters being deployed in densely populated residential areas and refugee camps. Their report documents multiple instances of drones being used to assassinate individuals in violation of international humanitarian law.

Australia’s financial and military ties to Rafael

Despite mounting evidence that Rafael is complicit in war crimes, the Australian government continues to deepen its commercial and military ties with the company.

Data from Austender reveals that since 2007, the Department of Defence has awarded Rafael-linked entities over $168 million in contracts.

Of this, $42 million went directly to Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and $126 million to Varley Rafael, a joint venture launched in 2018 by then Defence Minister Christopher Pyne between Rafael and the Australian engineering firm Varley Group.

The most significant of these is a 15-year missile procurement contract awarded in 2023, worth $108 million. The contract was originally priced at $50 million but was amended and expanded in October 2024, raising further concerns about the government’s ongoing commitment to the company amid the genocide in Gaza.
