Botched redaction exposes Google data center water and power use
Original: Improper redaction reveals Lincoln’s Google Data Center water and electricity usage Please check the short video in the
A poorly applied redaction in documents released about Google's data center in Lincoln, Nebraska, has revealed the facility's previously withheld water and electricity consumption. The figures are described as staggering, and the failed attempt to hide them is drawing ridicule online, adding to ongoing scrutiny of the resources data centers consume in local communities.
Why now: The ironic failure of a government or company redaction, and the unusually large resource figures it revealed, are driving discussion amid wider concern about data center energy and water use.
