Ag water rights is a really f'ed up issue in the US. It's very tangentially connected to whether there's a data center using up water though.
Besides which there are so many other f'ed up dynamics in the profitability of a commodity crop like corn- Gov't subsidies, gmo/pesticides, ethanol, factory animal farming, etc.
What I'm struggling to understand is why so many are working so hard to let big tech off the hook when it comes to developing better technology for power and cooling systems.
You're right that it is tangentially connected. But that doesn't mean we should let them off the hook.
