Most data centers refusing to say how much water, electricity they use https://nltimes.nl/2026/09/30/data-centers-refusing-say-much-water-electricity-use
The vast majority of data centers in Europe keep information about their environmental impact secret, according to a study by Lighthouse Report in collaboration with Trouw and other European media. In the Netherlands, less than a quarter of larger data centers publish data about their electricity and drinking water usage.
Of course, you hide info when there is some stuff going on? lol.
