There's no water loss.
It's continuously recirculated.
It's a closed-loop system.
It's about five feet per second of water flow into a GPU and out.

runs out and cools somewhere.
Shoots out the building, we cool it, shoot it back in the building when it's chilled again.
So it's incredibly efficient from a sustainability perspective.
It's also one of the commitments we talked about in the keynote this morning is, you know, all of our data centers in Azure will be 100% renewable energy by the end of the calendar year.
So we're pumping more renewable energy in the grid than we're taking out.
When we made that commitment, it was before the AI push, so it became a lot harder as we started building.
We're hanging in there.
And a lot of it is, these are not carbon credits.
This is not an accounting trick we're doing.
