It’s mostly because of water. It uses lots of lots of energy and water at massive data centers which can cause things like droughts. It’s electricity that’s needed. Depending on how they get that electricity whether it be through coal or natural gas will determine if we have an issue on our hands. Even then you can just build a nuclear power plant and you’re good. Cleanest energy ever. Lots of it too. And very reusable.
