加州拉莫納,2025年6月9日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——數據中心的水資源消耗將很快超過整個牛隻產業,而目前因水資源短缺,牛隻數量已經在下降。

美國的牛隻存量從50年前的1.32億頭下降至今天的8670萬頭,現在面臨一個快速逼近且尚未被充分認識的新威脅:人工智能(AI)基礎設施的巨大擴張——特別是數據中心——及其對水資源供應的影響,Sprouting Gear Inc.的創辦人兼首席執行官Paul Pluss表示,他是一位資深的畜牧業牧場主及專注於農業、水資源及AI基礎設施需求交集的研究者。

“數據中心為了冷卻其由微軟、谷歌、Meta和亞馬遜等公司運營的伺服器,消耗的水量巨大,但農業界對此仍然認識不足。數據中心的最佳位置往往與牛隻飼養場相同,且它們經常共享同一水源和河流,”Pluss說。

美國的數據中心數量預計將從今天的5426個增長到五年內超過8378個。許多現有設施也在擴張。這些數據中心——為AI模型和雲計算提供支持——需要大量的電力和水。

關鍵數據:

* 每個數據中心每天可消耗高達500萬加侖的水來進行冷卻。
* 每兆瓦電力的平均水使用量估計在600萬到700萬加侖之間。
* 美國數據中心的電力需求目前為35吉瓦,並持續上升。
* 數據中心的年度電力使用量預計將幾乎增長三倍,從今天的224太瓦時增至五年內的606太瓦時。
* 根據當前和預測的增長,美國數據中心的總水使用量每年可能超過15000億加侖,這相當於每年超過4600萬英畝英尺的水(基於每個中心每天500萬加侖的已知數據,未計算新擴張的情況)。

這樣的水消耗水平與主要農業州的農業用水相當,並可能很快超過整個畜牧業的水足跡,包括飼料作物灌溉、飲水及加工需求。

在這篇報告中,Pluss提出了畜牧業面臨的嚴峻挑戰,尤其是水資源的競爭日益激烈。他的觀點引發了對當前科技發展與傳統農業之間矛盾的深思,尤其是隨著AI技術的迅猛發展,如何在滿足科技需求的同時,保護我們的自然資源,將成為未來農業可持續發展的關鍵。

這不僅是對畜牧業的警示,也是對整個社會的提醒:在追求科技進步的同時,我們必須考慮其對環境的影響,特別是水資源的管理。未來的農業或許需要更多創新解決方案,例如水培技術,以減少對傳統水源的依賴,這將是農業界需要面對的重大挑戰。
