We don’t know how much water data centers use. We just know it’s a lot

    Screw data centers, I want to see desalination combined with nuclear power plants. They literally generate power by boiling water, it’s a match made in heaven.

    We just need a few more advances in technology to remove impurities from brine and we’d also corner the table salt market.

      Reactors that can do that have existed since the 70s and maybe even earlier.

      The only reason there aren’t more reactors like that is because most governments have barely been allowing the construction of new reactors period.
