Spot birds not golf

Summary

Suggestion for hyperscalers feeling pressure over data center water use: Buy up a few exclusive country clubs, convert the golf courses into public parks, pay for guides and binoculars to get the previous members into birdwatching - help them embrace a more sustainable hobby! Google used 10.9 billion gallons in 2025 , so about 30 million gallons per day. The Coachella Valley has 120 golf courses each using ~800 acre-feet per year , which is ~750,000 gallons per day. So Google buying up 40 of those courses (1/3) should do the trick. Tags: ai-energy-usage , ai
