If I were an advanced, alien civilization bent on testing the intelligence of mankind what I would do is provide the plans for data centers to the wealthiest and greediest corporations on Earth. Because, you would think that the corporations using their money to circumvent the laws and the will of the people would be stopped in their tracks with one argument: Any innovation that promises to improve human existence, but needs to suck up a necessary resource like water, is not an innovation that will benefit mankind.
That should be all that is needed in logic.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
