    How about both? During a long drought why shouldn’t people be mad at a multinational company sucking up water to use for their international tech products?

        6% of the water is effectively being used by billions of people. That’s pretty efficient versus keeping lawns greener for a few thousand people who insist on using non-native plants for landscaping.

            I’m saying that 6% isn’t a lot considering the number of people effectively using that water.

            It’s like when people moan about California having to pipe in water for its agriculture without considering how many people outside of California are eating that food.
