Do they want the Cuyahoga River to catch on fire again?
They need to share the pollution with Indiana and Kentucky
“Wastewater” is a misnomer here
What could possibly go wrong
I am confused what kind of waste water a data center produces?
Next headline, epa weighs allowing data centers to dump wastewater directly into Dasani bottles for consumption.
The Environmental Pollution Agency.
I mean if it’s just cooling water there really shouldn’t be too much in it. We’d need to see the specific labs on their effluent flow to know whether or not it’s okay
Why not a cooling pond/tower so they can reuse some of it?
“Wastewater and stormwater” implies they’re also gathering rainwater to use for cooling to then release. Seems like as long as temperature constraints are considered it should be fine.
CNN headline: “.. and here’s why that’s bad for Joe Biden”
Could someone on the shores of Cuyahoga river please light a match every morning, and keep us posted?
the Rust Belt will now be called the Rusty Water Belt
100% worth it if it makes couple of people a few extra billion dollars while further ruining the middle class job market while suppresses people and wages.
this is why we cant have nice things
Ohio still has an EPA?
I thought most data centers used evaporative cooling?
Hey data center provider, what does chatgpt think?
Why are they not required to dump it into the sewer if it’s just for cooling?
Lollll just the fact that they have to “think” about it is already a scientific failure
Environmental pollution agency these days.
Data centers use massive amounts of water for cooling. If we’re expanding AI infrastructure, we need equally aggressive environmental safeguards. Otherwise we’re just externalizing the cost.
From the draft order itself:
>It has been determined that a lowering of water quality of various waters of the state associated with granting coverage under this permit is necessary to accommodate important social and economic development in the state of Ohio.”
Absolute madness what is happening in this country.
How long until CVNP reverts back to a toxic waste dump?
Ohio, GOP central, of course they are going to allow it.
What a fucking joke. People making these decisions need to be brought to heel. Fuck em all.
Classic ohio
I’d only let this go through if there were cooling towers to let the water reach the same temperature as the body of water.
Turkey Point canals would resolve this issue. But quite the footprint..
So basically they are going to be dumping hot water.
Ohio would do that
