  • It’s totally useless as long as you don’t shut down plants that are running on coal. Otherwise it’s just adding up with other sources of CO2.

    Google is still closely associated with California to many people (and to a lesser degree New York), but it’s determined to change that reputation. The company is launching a $13 billion expansion in 2019 that will give it a total US footprint of 24 states, including “major expansions” in 14 states. The growth includes its first data center in Nevada, a new office in Georgia, and multi-facility expansions in places like Texas and Virginia. This is on top of known projects like its future New York City campus.

    This plant is used to power up an expansion of google, which means it’s just adding up CO2 to what we already emit. It’s creating a fake impression that we are reducing our carbon footprint.

    There is a simple solution: shut down the datacenter. No more power needed, no more water needed. The problem is not about CO2, it’s about us refusing to let go our previous way of life.

    And if you refuse this solution ask yourself why.




  • I see that you also downvoted my post about veganism and the cost of breeding cattle in term of water. I see a pattern there.

    You listed the same example several times, in quotes

    What are you talking about? It’s the same article about the rio grande. It’s not supposed to be multiple examples.

    not sourced links

    Paste it in any search engine, it’s the first result.

    fear mongering on the level of a conspiracy theorist

    I see your true colors now.

    Your advice of moving to the mountains, taken en masse, would just result in cities existing there…with the same source of water.

    Ridiculous, I’m not talking to the masses.

    You brought nothing to the table, you saw a post about veganism and then you went full conspiracy theorist mode. Instead of discussing the case you just went for the downvote button. I’m not wasting more time with you.











  • Plenty of cities have good access to water. It’s why most of them were built where they were in the first place.

    That’s the way it used to be.

    Take the Rio Grande:

    Water restrictions ordered in Rio Grande Valley as drought persists

    ‘The actual lake is gone,’ Zapata County judge says

    McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The two largest cities in the Rio Grande Valley have implemented mandatory water restrictions as water levels in two reservoirs hit near-record lows due to an ongoing drought.

    Rathmell gave Border Report a tour of diminishing Falcon Lake on Thursday, and at the time advocated that cities downstream in the Rio Grande Valley should be forced to conserve water.

    Rathmell said that Falcon Lake is basically no more. It’s just an area where the Rio Grande river runs through.

    Cities will become traps. It was convenient before but now it is becoming a death trap, don’t purchase a house there, you become dependent on someone bringing food and water to you. If you are in the business of searching for a house, avoid cities.
