"Guzzling water" is overstated
Your average golf course uses far more water. Some of the early data center complaints on water usage trace back to a report that overstated usage by 10x due to a math error.
Electricity use, on the other hand... I'd be leery of a data center that's not showing up with its own generation capacity.
