We are in a drought, and it is reported that the Tesla Gigafactory used more than 200 million gallons of water between 2023 and 2025.
Add this to the water use of all these data centers that we are attracting, and the fact that Texas towns are now basically without water, plus the addition of immigrant detention centers around Texas, and all we do is pile on the water problem.
We need regulations now around water usage besides the “water only once a week” directive.
