Still less H2O intensive than meat production.

According to the numbers I found above, almond is pretty comparable to meat production in terms of water intensity. The only thing saving it is that there is a lot less almond production than meat production.

I would also add Alfalfa and Nestle (bottled 2$ water to the list. Really though “technology connections” says if you took the corn for ethanol and replaced it with solar you could power all the electric cars. (I could be misremembering)

I'm pretty sure he said that if you replaced all of the land currently growing corn for ethanol and put solar panels there you would make more electricity than the entire us grid uses.

Absolutely. Outclasses data centers by a few orders of magnitude though... So far. Likely not for long.
