There's so much hand waving and speculation here. For example, the amount of water that Microsoft uses to cool its data centers is a global number right? Not California specific. And for that matter, if those data centers are in the Bay area that's not going to matter for firefighting in Los Angeles, I wouldn't think. AI makes for kind of a convenient scapegoat right now.
Also, I thought we were blaming the fires on climate change and DEI?
