This is a misconception. The initial data centers for AI were open loop systems because that was more efficient but the latest chips are so hot that open loop can't cool them. Elon Musk's Collosus Center is a hybrid of both. Microsoft and Oracle both have plans for massive data centers that are closed loop. Meta has moved to hybrid systems. No new data center being built is open loop only.
Honestly, boomers are just idiotic nimbys who watched something on CNN and then got mad and it's sad to see many people on here falling for it also.
The issue is "who pays for it". As long as these companies pay for the water rather than the public subsidizing it for them then it's all good.
I literally have been to dozens of datacenters. They're all the fucking same. Go find a big corporation with datacenters, I've been on their sites. They're all the same.
They secretly accumulate the land using shell companies. It's really sneaky. Lots of people protesting the data centers don't even know who to sue. The llc is just a realty broker and the names of data center acquirer is secret up to and past approvals permits etc
