I haven’t looked it up, so maybe someone can explain to me why they can’t use a closed loop system, like a car cooling system. Just keep running the same water through and cool it?

Or is it actually producing waste? Then why can’t it be evaporated and filtered?

I’m just assuming it would work, but it’s just costly and capitalism. But I usually assume things wrong.

Oops, I think you might have gotten lost somewhere along the way…

Apparently lol.

I thought I was posting about data centres using over 200+ billion gallons of water. No idea how it got here. I don’t recall even going here…

In that case, the answer is simply that what you're suggesting is slightly more expensive. It's the same answer across the board for every single environmental or climate problem we have had in the last century. The solution is slightly, like a fraction of a percentage point, more expensive, and so they won't do it.

I like your suggestion for Israel though. It should be turned into a closed loop system , and the waste should be filtered off through boiling.
