When #Texas asked the data center industry to report how much #water they consume, fewer than 1/3 of companies responded. Less than 17% responded to a separate, "mandatory" survey by the Texas Water Development Board. https://www.texasobserver.org/ai-data-center-boom-uncertainty-is-the-model/

With Texas’ Data Center Boom, Uncertainty Is the Business Plan

Proposed projects are driven by sketchy numbers nobody has to prove: inflated demand, water use most companies never report, power plans that route around ordinary review. Either way, the public pays.

The cost of ignoring government regulators is far too low.
