Jason Kelce Launches Humorous Marketing Campaign Against AI Data Centers' Water Consumption
Former NFL player Jason Kelce has launched a marketing campaign for Liquid Death and Garage Beer that uses humor to highlight the significant water consumption of AI data centers. The campaign features Kelce in an ad encouraging people to 'pee on computers together and save humanity,' a satirical call to action against the environmental impact of these facilities. The ad, which includes a disclaimer not to actually send urine, aims to draw attention to the massive amounts of fresh water required to cool servers in AI data centers. These facilities, often located in rural areas, can consume up to 5 million gallons of water daily, equivalent to the usage of a town with 10,000 to 50,000 people. The campaign leverages Kelce's public persona to resonate with communities, particularly in rural America, that are increasingly concerned about the resource demands of AI infrastructure.
