Apparently closed loop systems are not good enough for these kinds of applications, and often instead use evaporative. Which kind of logical, since they're not running a single factory overclocked GPU with a top of the line desktop CPU, but a cluster of factory overclocked GPUs with a server CPU.

Apparently closed loop systems are not ~~good~~ cheap enough

There I fixed that for you.

What should happen is that the cost of water to these businesses should increase, which would then incentivise other more expensive methods of cooling, but that would make line go up at a less steep angle which makes shareholders sad.
