Stole. The correct word is stole. Nice to know the officials got the proper bribes. Nothing to see here.
Some important context here:
QTS told Politico the 29 million gallons were consumed during temporary construction activities, including concrete work, dust control, and site preparation. The company markets a “closed-loop” cooling system for its data centers, which recirculates the same water rather than drawing from the municipal supply.
construction projects don’t usually use secret unmetered hookups the water company doesn’t know about, bud.
some important context here: almost every comment from above user is correcting the record in ai posts like this.
Nothing in that comment should have been construed as trying to defend the company from trying to weasel their way out of paying their water bill.
That context isn’t important at all, unless you’re implying that the correction is wrong or misleading.
I think it’s useful to bring attention to the fact that this isn’t water being used by the data center for operations, but for its construction.
And let’s be real, there’s a ridiculous amount of misinformation surrounding co-called “AI”, both pro and con. Someone providing context and clarification isn’t something I’d complain about. (With the caveats above.)

Oh, I guess them stealing 29 million gallons of water is fine because it was during construction then. Great point, not completely ridiculous.
Calm down, pal. No one said that at all. If all you have is strawmen maybe sit this one out.
No one said the words I quoted?
Ok.
No one said it was “fine”.
