$BTC Brothers, take a look at what’s going on in Ulanqab—this really makes people uneasy. In Ulanqab, there are 89 data center projects signed and implemented, including big players like Huawei, Alibaba, and Tencent. And as a result, in this grassland pastoral area, it’s like the local people are competing with the local sheep for water. Honestly, a large data center that uses evaporative cooling can consume millions of liters of water per day in summer—this number doesn’t look small at all. We ordinary people usually talk about “carbon neutrality” and “green energy,” so what’s the deal here? Big AI firms are targeting the driest, most water-scarce regions for expansion—who can make sense of this logic? If this issue really comes to trouble the herders, then it’s not just something as simple as “technological progress.”
