Data Centers in Ohio are preparing to discharge their water usage directly into lakes and streams and the EPA is working on permits to let them do it

“The Ohio EPA is drafting permits to let that wastewater flow straight into our lakes and streams. Five year permits, no guarantee of a sewage treatment plant on site, just straight into the river if that's what's nearby”

This is very real, the EPA is actually doing this, and there are real concerns:

Concerns raised by residents include

- Thermal pollution: Hot water can harm aquatic life.
- Chemicals: Potential for biocides, metals, or other additives.
- Massive withdrawals and discharges of water strain local water bodies, especially during droughts
- Environmental groups like Great Lakes groups warn of risks to drinking water, recreation and ecosystems

You do realize, the Chinese have built MASSIVE amounts of solar, wind, hydro for the data centers don't you?
I'm not saying these things are the best since sliced bread, but you have to ask yourself why the CCP is funding a lot of
these anti data center protests. Because they want the west to NOT build data centers.
Then, these companies that want to build them, will turn to China who will welcome them with open arms.
And once the data centers are in China, WHO do you think will have free access to do with as they please with
all of that information coming from those data centers? :ermm:

@kma8675309 Hydro only works in the western USA and Wind Mills are Useless and a maintenance nightmare with one out of every three sitting out of commission waiting on a crew to show up just to diagnose the problem and order up replacement parts to be scheduled to be installed 6 to 8 months latter or more.... It was a nice thought.

Thermal pollution? Big whoop. I suspect certain fish will be hanging around the discharge area for the warmer water. Other fish will hang out in other parts of the lake.

Elect a president that believes in the constitution and the data centers will be for A-10 practice.

They are trying everything to get rid of us. I got a stockpile of pasta,rice,flour and a few boxes of MRES. And loads of cases of water. I'm in UK though. Blackouts expected in winter at the very least.

This is likely a far cry from what big business has dumped into the local water for the past 300 years.
