OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar on CNBC.

"> We at OpenAI, have promised we will never raise your electricity bill. In fact, often working with utilities, we can help invest in that grid.

> Number 2 is water. When you look at a large data center footprint, it's usually about 2 Olympic swimming pool size worth of water, which we truck in. And then it's like a car radiator. It doesn't really get lost. In fact, most of the water is for the people working in those data centers, and those are good jobs.

> And then the 3rd thing people are worried about is noise. I was just in Georgia 2 weeks ago talking to the community about how we would build a 300-foot high berm around the data center to be able to control noise. But what else?"
