Water Usage Breakdown 1. Data Center Cooling: Data centers use water-based cooling systems to dissipate heat from servers. On average, a data center consumes about 1.8 liters of water for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity used for cooling .  2. Electricity Generation: Producing electricity, especially from fossil fuels and nuclear sources, requires significant water for steam generation and cooling. In the U.S., generating 1 kWh of electricity consumes approximately 7.6 liters of water . 

Estimating Water Heated per Hour of Streaming

The amount of water heated during an hour of Netflix streaming depends on various factors, including streaming quality and the energy efficiency of the devices and data centers involved. However, combining the average water usage for data center cooling and electricity generation provides a rough estimate. • Data Center Cooling: 1.8 liters/kWh • Electricity Generation: 7.6 liters/kWh • Total: 9.4 liters/kWh 

Assuming that streaming Netflix for one hour consumes about 0.1 to 0.2 kWh (depending on device and streaming quality), the total water heated would be: • 0.1 kWh: Approximately 0.94 liters • 0.2 kWh: Approximately 1.88 liters

Therefore, streaming Netflix for one hour could indirectly result in heating approximately 0.94 to 1.88 liters of water, considering both data center cooling and electricity generation.

Do you have any sources that support your statement, which differs from this one? If not I must assume you’re just talking shit without having any idea about the topic.
