In modern EU contries, the water going through data centers is hooked up to the central heating system, which means the central heating provides cold water, and in return they get hot water back from the data center.
This provides the houses with the warm water needed, and everyone benefits.
Instead the US is out here wasting massive ressources and achieves the same goal with alot of waste of money and a great environmental impact.
And now they also expand this stupidity to the rest of the world. Nice.

It's also an embarrassing testament to how low-budget this project must be, because any fucking engineer or technician with even a taste of the HVAC industry is aware that a system that passively recycles already heated or cooled water is one of the easiest/cheapest ways to solve the overheating problem.
You mean building lots of data centers full of hot servers that need heavy cooling in Phoenix Arizona, where temperatures regularly exceed 120F might not be such a good idea?

Pathetic.
