    Speaking of DCs, is there evidence that they are sucking up water? What about deteriorating air quality around the buildings? Could they be causing major environmental issues? It seems they mostly have closed loop systems a la CPU coolers and they consume a lot of electricity that's already been earmarked for them. What about air quality and air humidity?

      You don't have to downvote me. I am genuinely interested in the impact. I just want to learn.

        What research have you done so far? I assume you’re being downvoted because those questions are fairly easily answered, there is a lot of reports and data on DCs resource usage
