Poop Ping!.................
I think Windows 11 would be more effective.
cheaper to ship to poor countries to stimulate their economy.
Until it all comes back in one big flush ,LOL
For Microsoft, the appeal isn’t just in locking up carbon, it’s also in sidestepping public backlash tied to visible waste management problems.
Can one thing of a lot of unintended consequences of this brilliant idea?
Therein lies the rub. Once the warmageddon cult left got to the point of quantifying each step of their religious practices, they justify in their minds and their regulations how much is "needed" for each "gain". "Net zero" makes no sense to those of us with sense. But it clicks in their brains because they've build a "math" around how to get there.
A precisely WHAT prevents all that tonnage from contaminating the aquifers from which we get our drinking water?
AI Data Centers Accused of Creating Major Problems for Local Water Systems
“For tech companies, “water is an afterthought.”
According to a report from last year cited by the newspaper, Newton County is on track to be in a water deficit by 2030, forcing residents to ration water if the water authority’s facilities aren’t upgraded.
Blair Northen, the mayor of Mansfield, a town in Newton County, described the situation as “absolutely terrible.” As it stands, water rates will surge by 33 percent, far above the typical two percent annual climb, Northen told the NYT.
Generative AI’s ghastly environmental toll is hardly a secret, despite tech companies trying to keep specific data about its energy bills, water consumption, and carbon emissions under wraps. But now we’re starting to see more residents witnessing the effects of tech’s voracious demands firsthand as the AI race marches on.
And it’s on track to get even worse. Older data centers like Meta’s in Newton typically use 500,000 gallons of water per day, according to the NYT. But permit applications examined by the paper suggest that new facilities will guzzle millions of gallons per day.

Cool. In a million years there will be new supplies of oil.
My humble suggestion is that Billy G. eat every single atom of it.
Sounds like another really bad Microsoft idea.
What an idiocy.
This is very valuably fertilizer!
Another huge waste of resource just to satisfy the global warming hoax!
Seems like it would be more useful dumping it in the ground in the desert and planting pine trees on it.
I lease sections of land to a city for use as a leech field. Turns nasty and disgusting after a couple of years. I grow native buffalo grass on it. After about five years, they move to the next field. I overseed with hay two years later.
Fantastic fields, no watering, no fertilizer. Increases organic content in soil from basically zero to 40%
After a decade, the bad human bacteria is long gone and it’s safe for high dollar produce crops.
So...Fracking = Bad, Fracking w/sewage = Good.
No surprise given their Indian CEO
God has quite the sense of humor. AI, Lord of the Flies, washing in poop, while God’s children are washed in the pure water of the Lord. LOL.
Putting it where the sun don’t shine. Not a good idea in my opinion. I would think there would be a considerable risk of contamination to deep aquifers. Where are the slew of environmental impact studies that should be done before pumping poop?
Someone with more lyrical talent than me should write it up, to the tune of Marty Robbins' "Big Iron".
