The developers claim this thing will use “net zero” water. This is while they want to take water that would normally be topping up the Great Salt Lake and use it to cool the site’s gas power plant.nbs

gas turbines (like seen already in genai dcs) don't need water for cooling, ccgt powerplant does, but it's because there's steam turbine downstream. dc itself could also use evaporative cooling. ccgt has some components with long lead time that will require more planning, footprint and construction than straight gas turbine powerplant
