| LA Wildfires and AI’s Data Center Water Drain: The explosion of data center demand for AI use is draining water resources. Even with efforts to mitigate cooling demands, municipalities and companies struggle to find a balance. —Information Week, January 17, 2025. |
[Refrain]
Oh, the sea was wide, the sun is high
The land is parched, the soil is dry
And clouds swirl over cooling stacks
And soothing rain is what we lack
[Verse 1]
There’s vapour in the atmosphere
And bubbles form, that much is clear
Pyramids and Ponzi schemes
Built on algorithmic dreams
[Refrain]
Oh, the sea was wide, the sun is high
The land is parched, the soil is dry
And clouds swirl over cooling stacks
And the cooling rain is what we lack
[Verse 2]
Profits for some, for us the loss
Ice caps melted, no more frost
Towns in rolling blackout pall
No showers, storms, or thunder squall
[Refrain]
Oh, the sea was wide, the sun is high
The land is parched, the soil is dry
And clouds swirl over cooling stacks
And the cooling rain is what we lack
