Liquid Death and Jason Kelce ran a joke campaign suggesting people’s urine could be used to cool AI data centers, while experts noted that data centers can already rely on non-potable sources like recycled water. Meta will invest at least $270 million in wastewater infrastructure near its data centers. The focus shifts from a prank to scaling recycled-water infrastructure, including possible government support such as a 30% tax credit to expand treatment capacity for data center cooling.
