Bill Gates sucks Seattle’s water?
11th September 2004 by Simon
Sitting down at breakfast in hotels during trade shows, you always hear bits of gossip being exchanged over strong coffee - normally it’s about the ‘adventures’ of the night before. Today I heard some gossip that was less than typical. On the table next to me one of them allege that Bill Gates is the largest consumer of water in Seattle, because of the steam that runs throughout this well known expansive house/compound.
I have no idea if this has any truth behind it, but I would assume that if the stream isn’t a natural feature, it would be more logical to keep recycling the water, rather than using pumping new water - and you can bet that Bill is _very_ logical. Even if it is recycled, I would think that the electricity consumed doing it would be pretty huge, but then I imagine someone who has their house controlled by a server farm of computers doesn’t get concerned over that.
