That is missing my point that they are not major contributors to water overuse. The other uses wildly dwarf them, especially animal agriculture
On electricity, they are delaying fossil fuel plant closures and run backup generators that emit themselves. They’re projected to go from 5 to 15% of electricity use in the US
