I did not know Arizona was a contender for AI Data Centers. Don't they have water and drought issues already?
Last time this came up in an HN discussion, I looked at the sources and noticed that all 108 DCs in Arizona combined currently use about as much water as about 3k residents: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45952965
How big is the rejected new DC compared to all the existing ones combined? I could believe just about anything in the current bubble, but that's where we're at for the existing ones.
