Janus, 2025

In May 2025, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was selling the benefits of AI data centers on Fox News. While describing the technical jobs they would create, he explained that the facilities require substantial cooling infrastructure: “These AI things, they suck water and they need water,” before saying that this creates demand for specialized plumbing and HVAC workers.

Janus, 2026

On September 2, 2026, Lutnick told CNBC: “I mean, data centers don’t use water. This is propaganda by our adversaries to try to slow us down.” CNBC’s own published transcript confirms those words.

The same Yahoo/The Hill report notes that U.S. data centers directly consumed an estimated 66 billion liters of water in 2023, citing Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory research.

We come not to praise Jackassus Lutnick, but to expose him.
