The Great Lakes Compact doesn’t require reporting of #datacenters’ water use when they tap municipal systems. Prof. Melissa Scanlan warns this hides major water & #energy demands and urges more transparency + long-term regional planning. @wuwmradio.bsky.social

Are there rules governing data center water usage?
Data centers are known for using huge amounts of water. Is that water usage regulated? If so, by whom?

There’s a wild story playing out on Great Lakes ship watching and coastal Facebook groups right now.
There’s a guy with a homemade house boat who’s attempting to traverse the lakes.
The boat is called Neverlanding and it set sail from Windsor, ON. It appears he has 1-2 50hp motors.
