Limitless Podcast

It's time to debunk myths about AI's environmental impact, focusing on the exaggerated claim that data centers drain water supplies. We reveal that Colossus 2 in Memphis uses just 346 million gallons yearly, comparable to two and a half In-N-Out locations. 

Today we confront flawed statistics and highlight commitments from tech giants like Google and Microsoft to improve sustainability.

What is Limitless Podcast?

Exploring the frontiers of Technology and AI

Ejaaz:
You've all heard the headlines. AI is draining our water supply.

Ejaaz:
Data centers are stealing drinking water from the communities.

Ejaaz:
ChatGPT is literally drying up the planet. It sounds terrifying and it's also completely fake.

Ejaaz:
Today we're going to bust one of the biggest myths on the internet and walk

Ejaaz:
through the actual numbers which reveal something crazy that the world's largest

Ejaaz:
data center uses about as much water as two burger joints.

Ejaaz:
We're going to walk you through exactly how much water is needed for the biggest

Ejaaz:
data center in the world, Colossus 2, and why the majority of water used is

Ejaaz:
only a fraction of the water used by your local golf club that your friends go to every weekend.

Josh:
So part of the feedback that we've seen as we become more of a presence,

Josh:
a platform in the world of AI, is that there's a lot of narratives that try to take down progress.

Josh:
And the newest and hottest topic has been the topic of water consumption,

Josh:
to the point where when I talk about with my friends about what I'm working

Josh:
on and what I'm interested in, that frequently comes up as the first rebuttal.

Josh:
It's like, this is horrible for the environment. It's using so much water, so much energy.

Josh:
And this episode, we're going to focus on the water, particularly around the

Josh:
public perception versus comparing it to the reality and how far off it really is.

Josh:
We're seeing on the screen a few headlines of people from Utah,

Josh:
very viral publications and headlines that have been talking about this.

Josh:
But the reality is, is it's simply not true.

Josh:
So we're going to methodically and in a very fun way kind of dissect how wrong

Josh:
this actually is, starting with the book that kind of spawned it all.

Josh:
The author's name is Karen Howe. No pun intended.

Josh:
She really, like Karen, Karen seems like a very fitting name as an author called

Josh:
the Empire of AI, claiming a Google data center would use 1,000 times the water

Josh:
of an 88,000 person city.

Josh:
Studies projecting AI will consume 1.7 trillion gallons of fresh water by 2027.

Josh:
These claims are a bit outrageous, but this has been the narrative that people

Josh:
have been using as they discuss their rebuttals against why AI should exist.

Josh:
And this simply is not true. And I guess this is kind of where we got skeptical.

Josh:
We were like, okay, 1.7 trillion gallons, a thousand times more than an 88,000 person city.

Josh:
These numbers are outrageously large, but they're being peddled around as if

Josh:
it is truth in these large publications.

Ejaaz:
The thing is, like, we work in the AI space, Josh.

Ejaaz:
So trillion dollars, trillions, We're kind of like used to it at this point.

Josh:
Trillion here, trillion there.

Ejaaz:
Yeah, right. But what I wasn't used to is a trillion gallons of water.

Ejaaz:
And the first thought I had to my head was, what is this compared to?

Ejaaz:
Like, I can't quite comprehend how much water this is and how much water is

Ejaaz:
used in other industries that aren't AI adjacent.

Ejaaz:
So I started getting skeptical and I came across what I think now is the most

Ejaaz:
important bit of journalism done on data centers by these guys at SemiAnalysis.

Ejaaz:
They are a crazy team of researchers that kind of like dig into all the boring,

Ejaaz:
nitty-gritty, hard data center stuff to bring us the facts about lots of different

Ejaaz:
things, including how much water is consumed at the data center level.

Ejaaz:
And the revealings are super interesting. But what I love most about this,

Ejaaz:
is, Josh, is that not only is it really informative, it's also hilarious.

Ejaaz:
Because... Oh, it's great.

Josh:
I love this post so much.

Ejaaz:
Right. They've compared data center water usage

Ejaaz:
to burger restaurants, specifically In-N-Out. So for some context here,

Ejaaz:
they took the largest data center in the world, which is Elon Musk's Colossus 2.

Ejaaz:
It's a data center based in Memphis, and it is the first data center to reach a gigawatt of compute.

Ejaaz:
We actually mentioned this on yesterday's episode. If you haven't seen it,

Ejaaz:
definitely go check that out. It's super cool.

Ejaaz:
So we're talking about $18 billion worth of GPUs here, Josh.

Ejaaz:
So as you can imagine, it's probably using a lot of water, right?

Ejaaz:
So the math that they uncovered was the most revealing part.

Ejaaz:
So Colossus 2 has an annual water footprint of 346 million gallons of water per year.

Ejaaz:
Guess how much the average in-and-out store consumes per year?

Josh:
A lot.

Ejaaz:
147 million gallons per year. Per store.

Ejaaz:
Per store, sorry, yeah, per store, yes. So that means that the largest data

Ejaaz:
center in the entire world currently today that everyone's complaining about

Ejaaz:
consumes the same amount of water as two and a half In-N-Out stores.

Ejaaz:
Why aren't we protesting In-N-Out?

Josh:
This is super fascinating to me. And it gets even better than this.

Josh:
If you think that's funny, it gets even better.

Josh:
So basically, the report looked at tokens per burger. So we were able to get

Josh:
a metric for how you can actually justify output.

Ejaaz:
Wait, wait, wait. Run that unit by me again.

Josh:
We are breaking the news right here on Limitless. We are measuring water efficiency by tokens per burger.

Josh:
And a single burger's water footprint is about 245 gallons of water.

Josh:
That equals 2.7 billion AI output tokens, which roughly equates to one burger...

Josh:
Being equivalent to using Grok 30 times a day for 668 years.

Josh:
So the numbers are just absolutely astronomical.

Ejaaz:
Wait, wait, wait.

Josh:
Before I'm done, wait, one more thing, one final conclusion to this.

Josh:
There are over 400 in and outs. There's so many of them.

Josh:
And there's what, maybe 10 AI data centers? So the scale and the magnitude at

Josh:
which they are wrong is just so astronomical.

Josh:
I found it really funny like once you actually get into the numbers you realize

Josh:
this is so not a problem that it's.

Ejaaz:
Not even funny wait dude so this is you're telling me so this is incredibly click

Ejaaz:
baity basically um the figures are astronomically

Ejaaz:
wrong and if you compare it

Ejaaz:
to just a casual restaurant we're talking about burgers only here by the way

Ejaaz:
we're not talking about the fries sides and everything else just milkshakes

Ejaaz:
god knows how much one of the milkshakes use we're just talking about the burgers

Ejaaz:
including like their restaurant output and the supply chain for this so the

Ejaaz:
fact of the matter is, this problem isn't really a problem.

Ejaaz:
It's actually massively overblown. But what I'm curious about,

Ejaaz:
Josh, is like, okay, is this a realistic take?

Ejaaz:
Like, I know that data centers use a lot of water.

Ejaaz:
How are they using it? And like, how much of this is renewable versus is actually

Ejaaz:
burned and evaporated into the air and we'd never get it back?

Ejaaz:
Like, what's the comparison?

Josh:
Yes, yes, yes. Okay, so the truth, they are using lots of water.

Josh:
There's hundreds of millions of gallons per year that are going through these data centers.

Josh:
Some of it gets lost, a lot of it gets preserved. And the way they do it is

Josh:
there's two types of cooling.

Josh:
There's dry cooling, and then there's adiabatic cooling, which is the process

Josh:
where air cools down without exchanging heat with its surroundings.

Josh:
So if you remember the old iPhone episode that we did that talked about vapor

Josh:
chamber, you can imagine scaling a vapor chamber to the size of an industrial data center.

Josh:
And that's roughly how the adiabatic cooling works.

Josh:
So it evaporates the water, the water leaves the system, and that's where they

Josh:
lose about 267 million gallons per year.

Josh:
And then the second loss function is the flush and discharge.

Josh:
So one thing that I learned in preparing for this episode is that,

Josh:
I mean, there's a lot of mineral buildup in the water that they use.

Josh:
And 67 million of those get discharged as waste water per year.

Josh:
But those are the two ways they do it.

Josh:
It's dry and it's adiabatic. And there are promises in 2027 and 2028 from a

Josh:
lot of the major AI labs to decrease this waste to about 95%.

Josh:
Currently, it sits about 90%. So 90% gets recycled, 10% gets lost.

Josh:
Those numbers are going to increase incrementally until about 2030 when the

Josh:
number is actually net positive.

Ejaaz:
Okay, so it sounds like the classical way of thinking about how data centers

Ejaaz:
get cooled is you run a bunch of water in pipes through all these different GPUs,

Ejaaz:
and it removes the heat from these GPUs so they are able to perform at optimal levels, right?

Ejaaz:
And part of this water evaporates, never to be seen again, and some of this

Ejaaz:
water gets kind of recycled over and over again. And the adiabatic system,

Ejaaz:
I think is what you said, is kind of a hybrid of both of these things.

Ejaaz:
But most importantly, it's more of a closed loop system.

Ejaaz:
So we've kind of got like the majority of the water being renewed.

Ejaaz:
So there's a comparison between water being renewed and water being consumed,

Ejaaz:
which means lost forever. Do I have that right?

Josh:
Yeah, so there's, you could think of a closed-loop system, going back to that vapor chamber.

Josh:
If a vapor chamber is 100% efficient at being closed-loop, where water reaches

Josh:
the processor, it heats up, it evaporates. As it evaporates, it dissipates the heat.

Josh:
This is that at scale, although with some sort of a loss function at the end,

Josh:
where some of that evaporated water does currently exit the system.

Josh:
It sits now at about 10%, and that's where that loss comes from.

Ejaaz:
But I'm guessing it's not 1.7 trillion gallons of water a year. Yeah, it's a

Josh:
Far cry from the 1.7 trillion number. And then there's a second aspect to this

Josh:
that gets a lot of criticism, which is the actual power generation,

Josh:
how much water gets used in the generation of energy through these turbines

Josh:
that are natural gas, some solar.

Josh:
And the answer to that is, in the case of Colossus 2, 0%. There is no meaningful

Josh:
water consumption of power generation at all.

Josh:
The entirety of it comes from cooling the GPU system, which is closed loop and done with water.

Josh:
So maybe we just go into where that 1.7 trillion number even came from.

Josh:
Because this is the source of

Josh:
a lot of the narrative that we've seen play out over the last few weeks.

Ejaaz:
Exactly. So I'm showing all of you folks who are watching a scientific paper

Ejaaz:
from UC Riverside titled Making AI Less Thirsty.

Josh:
When you say scientific, you have to do air quotes.

Ejaaz:
Yeah, sorry, sorry. Pseudoscience. From this university called Making AI Less

Ejaaz:
Thirsty, uncovering and addressing the secret water footprint of AI models.

Ejaaz:
Now, this paper is the source of a lot of the clickbait headlines and TikToks

Ejaaz:
that you watch online. It's this one number.

Ejaaz:
1.7 trillion gallons of water will be consumed by AI data centers alone by 2027.

Ejaaz:
That's around the corner. We're talking about next year here, right?

Ejaaz:
And so a bunch of people kind of like threw up their hands and started protesting

Ejaaz:
data centers because they were like, that is so much water.

Ejaaz:
We're not going to be, we humans aren't going to be left with enough water to

Ejaaz:
consume ourselves. Right?

Ejaaz:
But here's what this study actually says. It claims 1.7 trillion gallons of

Ejaaz:
water are used for withdrawal.

Ejaaz:
That's a fancy term of saying recycled.

Ejaaz:
So imagine like the water being taken, used to cool down the systems,

Ejaaz:
the GPs that we just mentioned, and then recycled again and again and again.

Ejaaz:
So it's not net new water we're talking about here.

Ejaaz:
Josh, do you want to know the actual consumption that is being like permanently

Ejaaz:
removed, the ones that we should be trying to protest?

Josh:
Yeah, well, I mean, based on that, it's what? It's at least a full order of

Josh:
magnitude off than what is projected.

Ejaaz:
No, it's 100 to 158 billion, not trillion, billion gallons of water. That's 10%.

Ejaaz:
Actually, it's less than 10% if you take the lower bound of the reported number.

Ejaaz:
So the water that's actually being used by the data centers is only kind of like 10 to 15% of that.

Ejaaz:
And okay, so some people then go like, what about the drinking water?

Ejaaz:
Like what percentage of that is being affected from the study that was being

Ejaaz:
made? It's only 3% of the headline number.

Ejaaz:
So everyone took 1.7 trillion gallons of water and assumed all of that water

Ejaaz:
was being wasted, never to be seen again, used again, and it was pulling from

Ejaaz:
other resources when that strictly isn't being true. So the point I'm making,

Ejaaz:
and I'm going to reiterate it again,

Ejaaz:
The water, the 1.7 trillion gallons of water isn't being consumed.

Ejaaz:
Think of it like this. Like imagine diverting a river to run through a mill. We do that today, right?

Ejaaz:
And it flows back into the river. That's called withdrawal. That's the 1.7 trillion

Ejaaz:
number that I'm pulling out here.

Ejaaz:
So most of the power plant water is being reused over and over again.

Ejaaz:
So that's only the first major kind of bit of pseudoscience that we needed to bust.

Ejaaz:
But there's this second thing, and Josh, you mentioned it earlier from,

Ejaaz:
ironically, Karen Howe, who wrote this famous book called...

Josh:
Our favorite author.

Ejaaz:
...called The Empire of Air. Let me get this up here so everyone can see this book.

Ejaaz:
It has been rated over 1,300 times on Amazon, but more importantly,

Ejaaz:
it has been quoted directly by The Economist, The New York Times, and so much more.

Ejaaz:
For this specific stack, it says Google's data center will use 1,000 times the

Ejaaz:
water of an 88,000-person city.

Ejaaz:
Guess what? It was off by a factor of not 1,000 times, 4,500 times.

Ejaaz:
Josh, can you run me down these stats? Because it's just insane, dude.

Josh:
No, that stat actually makes me sick. It's horrible. So instead of comparing

Josh:
it to Google, we're going to start with golf courses because that's just...

Josh:
If you want to come at it, you got to start with the golf course.

Josh:
The average golf course, 312,000 gallons of water.

Josh:
Desert golf course is 1 to 2 million. A Google data center in Virginia is 400,000.

Josh:
Now what does that 400,000 give you?

Josh:
That powers Gmail, Google Drive, YouTube, the entire G Suite for billions of

Josh:
people around the world with the equivalent of 1.2 golf courses worth of water for billions of people.

Josh:
Google's global data center that powers 4 billion accounts,

Josh:
equals 43 golf courses. And in the state of Arizona, there are 370.

Josh:
So if you're comparing apples to apples here, that is the Lufx comparison. And it's just so off.

Josh:
This essay that was reported, this book that was published, it's off by like

Josh:
several orders of magnitude. It's not even close.

Ejaaz:
I mean, I'm looking at some of the things that they got wrong because someone

Ejaaz:
did a breakdown of this book that's been quoted so many times and that's behind all these headlines.

Ejaaz:
The book reported 5 million liters as the city's annual water use,

Ejaaz:
but that was misconstrued.

Ejaaz:
What she actually meant was 5 billion cubic meters.

Ejaaz:
For understanding here...

Josh:
Liters and cubic meters are very different things.

Ejaaz:
Very, very different things. So she confused liters with cubic meters,

Ejaaz:
which is already 1,000x error.

Ejaaz:
But then she said the data center would actually use 3% of the municipal water system, not 1,000x.

Ejaaz:
That's where we led to the 4,500x factor off that she was.

Ejaaz:
So basically, it is an absolute incorrect piece of reporting that has been spread

Ejaaz:
by some of the most important and popular media publications that we've seen.

Ejaaz:
Josh, I want to kind of take your golf course thing a little further because

Ejaaz:
I actually quite like that.

Josh:
Okay, we'll keep going on the golf courses.

Ejaaz:
So what's the number one state that's been getting a lot of protests about data centers? Arizona.

Ejaaz:
Let's just look at the golf courses in Arizona. Arizona has 370 golf courses.

Ejaaz:
Each golf course consumes about 1 to 2 million gallons of water per day.

Ejaaz:
So that's around 400 to 800 million gallons per day for an Arizona golf course,

Ejaaz:
right? For all the Arizona golf course.

Ejaaz:
If you compare that to data centers that consume 905 million gallons,

Ejaaz:
or rather 0.12% of county water,

Ejaaz:
That's like just in Arizona alone. So golf courses in Arizona,

Ejaaz:
29 billion gallons per year.

Ejaaz:
And a data center, the biggest one in Arizona, or actually collectively all

Ejaaz:
of these, actually, my correction, is just 0.12% of that.

Ejaaz:
900 million gallons per year. So it's obvious that there's just a lot of misinformation out there.

Ejaaz:
And I think it's really important to just bust this wide open completely. It's just wrong.

Ejaaz:
And part of me thinks that a lot of the hatred, if I'm being honest,

Ejaaz:
Josh, I think comes from people kind of equating AI to enriching people that they don't maybe like.

Ejaaz:
Like, I get it. Like, AI will be used as a tool to enrich billionaires even further.

Ejaaz:
It's so wasteful. I don't use it. What people don't realize is the average activity

Ejaaz:
that you do on a weekend or the average bit of food that you might consume,

Ejaaz:
buying a burger, 668 years straight of using Grok 30 times a day.

Ejaaz:
People don't do that that often.

Ejaaz:
It's just, it's important to level set, in my opinion.

Josh:
Yeah, there are a lot of valid criticisms. This is unfortunately not one of them.

Josh:
But there are some instances in which it does, or it has in the past actually

Josh:
affected localized effects where very small towns have actually felt an impact of this.

Josh:
They date most recently back to 2022.

Josh:
There actually hasn't been many sources recently that have determined that it

Josh:
is making a problem, but there have been some instances.

Josh:
The first one was in Oregon, where a Google data center It consumed 29% of the

Josh:
town's local water supply.

Josh:
There's another one from 2019 in Virginia.

Josh:
Virginia, famously, that's where a lot of the internet data center runs.

Josh:
I think a majority of the data center is run from these Virginia AWS servers.

Josh:
It consumed 63% of Lodon County in Virginia in 2019.

Josh:
But since then, there really hasn't been that much of an interference with the local water supply.

Josh:
And there have been solutions proposed from the companies who are most responsible for.

Josh:
Creating that strain. And that is Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft,

Josh:
who all committed to be water positive by 2030 using new cooling techniques.

Josh:
So that vapor chamber that we were talking about earlier will be done at an

Josh:
industrial scale and will actually be able to preserve 100% of the closed loop

Josh:
water supply. And I think that's going to be a really big deal.

Josh:
That paired with direct to chip cooling is also going to make a big difference.

Josh:
If you remember our Vera Rubin episode, where we talked about how the new chips

Josh:
are cooled, the actual cooling temperature, if I remember right,

Josh:
it was like 115 degrees Fahrenheit that it could be.

Josh:
So now you could actually cool these ships with hot water. It requires much less.

Josh:
Air cooling is getting a little more interesting.

Josh:
There's a lot of solutions coming along the way that will make this a lot more

Josh:
resource or a lot less resource intensive.

Ejaaz:
Cool. So if I were to summarize some takeaways for this myth busting episode,

Ejaaz:
there's a few that come to mind. Number one,

Ejaaz:
The numbers just don't support the panic that people are putting out there.

Ejaaz:
The fact is, AI data centers currently today, they might change later,

Ejaaz:
Use a fraction of what golf courses, agriculture, the t-shirt that you're wearing consumes to produce.

Ejaaz:
So even if we tripled AI water usage today, it would still pretty much be a rounding error.

Ejaaz:
Number two, the context matters. You can't confuse 1,000 liters with 5 billion

Ejaaz:
or whatever the number was, cubic meters of water.

Ejaaz:
That is super important. And comparing water consumption for AI data centers

Ejaaz:
and your average burger joint might just be the comparison that you need to

Ejaaz:
kind of like set you straight and be like, okay, well, maybe this isn't that

Ejaaz:
important going forward.

Ejaaz:
And then the third thing, which I think is kind of underspoken about quite a

Ejaaz:
lot is, I think, if I were to guess, we're moving towards a world where we end

Ejaaz:
up actually using less water for data centers, right?

Ejaaz:
Part of it is due to the different systems, like the adiabatic system that you mentioned, Josh.

Ejaaz:
But also, I think a lot of these AI companies are going to start building water

Ejaaz:
recycling plants to kind of push that 90% water renewability figure that we

Ejaaz:
mentioned earlier much, much higher.

Ejaaz:
I think Colossus 2 and Elon is doing that right now for Colossus 3,

Ejaaz:
actually. They're building out a water recycling plant.

Ejaaz:
So I think overall, this is a nothing burger, pardon the pun.

Ejaaz:
And we're going to look back on this. Yeah, we're going to look back on this

Ejaaz:
in the future and realize that we're consuming water in much faster ways in

Ejaaz:
so many other industries that we aren't currently protesting.

Ejaaz:
So keep quiet, eat your burger, and let the AI flow.

Josh:
So if you had to guess what the next narrative would be, that has a negative

Josh:
spin on it. Do you have any ideas? I think my answer is going to be energy.

Josh:
I think they're going to start to converge on the correct argument,

Josh:
which is the energy consumption on a localized scale, starting to actually impact

Josh:
the cost per kilowatt of the average person's home.

Josh:
And how does that get offloaded? Well, a lot more natural gas turbines, a lot more solar panels.

Josh:
And the process of scaling that up is happening, but it's happening slower than

Josh:
the scale at which they're consuming.

Josh:
So when you take a gigawatt data center like Colossus 2, that is consuming the

Josh:
equivalent collective output of San Francisco localized to a small town in Tennessee,

Josh:
there are impacts there that are real.

Josh:
It's just a matter of time until those kind of get uncovered and then get dealt with.

Josh:
I mean, they are dealing with it quickly, but there is a real strain happening

Josh:
on some grids that are localized to where these data centers exist.

Ejaaz:
I agree with you. And I actually think the numbers that will be quoted on headlines

Ejaaz:
about that specifically will actually be closer to home and to the point because

Ejaaz:
It's simple enough to kind of scale new water techniques to kind of cool stuff down.

Ejaaz:
Like we reported on a previous episode, I think like two weeks ago,

Ejaaz:
that they're not even using cold water anymore.

Ejaaz:
They're using warm water, 45 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, which is super warm.

Ejaaz:
I think it's like 90 degrees Fahrenheit to cool these systems down.

Ejaaz:
I think it's a different game with energy where we actually do have limited constraint.

Ejaaz:
It takes so much more work and expertise to scale that. and we're going to have

Ejaaz:
to tap into like town supply or city supply. So I agree with you.

Ejaaz:
I'm looking forward to kind of like unpicking that one in the future.

Josh:
Yeah, we'd be good at this. We should design the next PSYOP against our own industry.

Josh:
I think that would be much better to consult with the experts prior to doing this next time.

Ejaaz:
That's hilarious.

Josh:
But yeah, I guess that concludes the Mythbusters episode on the first one that

Josh:
we'll be dealing with, which is the water consumption and the new metric that

Josh:
is burger or tokens per burger.

Josh:
And in the case of our tokens per burger metric, the cost is very low.

Josh:
And I don't think this is anything to actually worry about.

Ejaaz:
That was the end of the episode, but I'm actually curious whether you guys enjoyed

Ejaaz:
this. We hope you guys learn something new from this.

Ejaaz:
Josh and I kind of like went back and forth on this, whether we should do this episode.

Ejaaz:
We realized like a myth-busting series could be really cool because there's

Ejaaz:
just a lot of myths and false claims out there and we face it every day.

Ejaaz:
We try and unpack it, spend all of our time figuring this stuff out.

Josh:
And I love that show growing up. It was great.

Ejaaz:
Yes, same. Actually, dude, maybe we need to, we need to come back with some

Ejaaz:
glasses for the next myth-busting episode. maybe a trench coat,
