Why does an AI site care about El Niño?
1. The Drought Connection: El Niño events typically bring severe heatwaves and droughts to major regions.
2. The Water Cost: Generative AI models like ChatGPT require massive data centers. A typical data center consumes millions of gallons of fresh water per day for cooling systems.
3. The Conflict: During an El Niño drought, data centers compete directly with local communities and agriculture for scarce drinking water reserves.
