There's plenty of water for data centers - Matt Yglesias

I actually effed up the math because I read the capacity to be in `MWh` but it's in `MW`. Don't need AI to make mistakes.

trying again from the last bullet point:

- Minimum electricity needed for desalination at the thermodynamic limit: 2190 GWh, at 24/7 operation this would mean 0.25 GW, or **roughly 0.25% of the current capacity**

***At a rate of 6.3 GW capacity growth per year, it takes 14.5 days to provide the additional electricity for this.***

So what that means is that the electricity is actually a non issue.

But please do double check my calc.
