Don't they reuse the water by cooling it outside the data center? Most power plants do that. | ||||||||

Yes, but that does not mean it is now clean water. Anything could happen between the moment Google ingests it and spits it back out, the assumption that it is 'just' a little warmer is nice but it misses the option of for instance contamination from a secondary circuit or various substances leaching into the water used as a coolant. | ||||||||
