A data center owner who went viral protesting a Google project in Iowa said it has to be 'done right'

Doug Sevey, CEO of Enseva, opposes a proposed Google data center in Iowa due to concerns over water consumption and lack of project details. Google is pursuing annexation to move the project under Palo's jurisdiction, while Sevey advocates for water-efficient systems like his own closed-loop chilled-water setup. Google has not disclosed its cooling system plans but emphasizes evaluating local water risks.
