Nebraska data centers are required to turn in an annual report to Nebraska’s Department of Water, Energy, and Environment, but some state statutes are preventing the public from seeing just how much electricity and water data centers are using.

Yeah this is weird. They use water for cooling and it goes into the ground and comes back to us. Water use may only matter in AZ and CA.
