Community pushback is increasingly shaping data center development, with concerns around water use and power demand contributing to delays and proposed moratoria across the U.S., UK, and Europe. As a result, cooling systems are now required to do more with less, particularly as densities rise and resource demands intensify. This session explores how operators are adapting liquid cooling strategies to improve energy efficiency, minimize water usage, and respond to local concerns, while addressing common misconceptions surrounding resource usage amid the need to scale. Join this episode to uncover:
- How community concerns around water and power are influencing cooling choices
- Where the biggest opportunities exist to reduce energy use and improve water efficiency
- How direct-to-chip liquid cooling approaches are evolving to support higher-density workloads
- How operators are working with policymakers and communities to address resource constraints
