Comment on UK government suggests deleting files to save water

  So this doesn’t sound like a big deal after all. Maybe just stop pulling water from those “stores of freshwater” for cooling purposes and get your own from the ocean.

    Corrosion issues, marine life clogging, too expensive, etcetc.

      Yeah, let them figure it out. It’s their problem after all. If it’s more expensive, then let them increase prices for their “data serving” activities. If it’s too expensive for some people, they might reconsider their usage of said services which in turn might be equivalent of “deleting old files or emails”. Instead of asking people deleting files right now before those in charge even tried to fix the problems they created.

        Ideally yes, but realistically, fuck the commoners, give money.

    Why do I have to drink ocean water when they’re the ones wasting it all?

      Lol, sorry, I meant that for them, not for you. Should have written ‘maybe they should just stop pulling water from those “stores of freshwater” for cooling purposes and get their own from the ocean’.
