Funny how nobody asks the folks who build golf courses "what about water usage?"

hint: An individual 18-hole course uses between 300,000 to 1 million gallons per day

I think people actually do though? They are even sabotaged at times (has happened in Europe at least), to protest against their water usage.

I’ve seen it brought up many times

Rather than talking in absolute numbers, ratios help relate human activities better, an example:

If we can close 1 in 3 golf courses and have all the water we need for data centers - and then some - would that be acceptable to our society?

Do we desire so much golf that we'd prefer to stress our water systems instead?
