Electric power
Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by 
an electric circuit. The SI unit of power is the watt, one joule per 
second. Standard prefixes apply to watts as with other SI units: 
thousands, millions and billions of watts are called kilowatts, 
megawatts and gigawatts respectively.
A common misconception is that electric power is bought and sold, but 
actually electrical energy is bought and sold. For example, electricity 
sold to consumers is measured in terms of amounts of energy, 
kilowatt-hours (kilowatts multiplied by hours), and not the rate at 
which this energy is transferred.
Electric power is usually produced by electric generators, but can also 
be supplied by sources such as electric batteries. It is usually 
supplied to businesses and homes (as domestic mains electricity) by the 
electric power industry through an electrical grid.
Electric power can be delivered over long distances by transmission 
lines and used for applications such as motion, light or heat with high 
efficiency.

Water
Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2O. It is a 
transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical 
substance, and it is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the 
fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent). It 
is vital for all known forms of life, despite not providing food energy, 
or organic micronutrients. Its chemical formula, H2O, indicates that 
each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, 
connected by covalent bonds. The hydrogen atoms are attached to the 
oxygen atom at an angle of 104.45°. "Water" is also the name of the 
liquid state of H2O at standard temperature and pressure.
Because Earth's environment is relatively close to water's triple point, 
water exists on Earth as a solid, liquid, and gas. It forms 
precipitation in the form of rain and aerosols in the form of fog. 
Clouds consist of suspended droplets of water and ice, its solid state. 
When finely divided, crystalline ice may precipitate in the form of 
snow. The gaseous state of water is steam or water vapor.
Water covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, with seas and oceans 
making up most of the water volume (about 96.5%). Small portions of 
water occur as groundwater (1.7%), in the glaciers and the ice caps of 
Antarctica and Greenland (1.7%), and in the air as vapor, clouds 
(consisting of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation 
(0.001%). Water moves continually through the water cycle of 
evaporation, transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, 
precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea.
Water plays an important role in the world economy. Approximately 70% of 
the freshwater used by humans goes to agriculture. Fishing in salt and 
fresh water bodies has been, and continues to be, a major source of food 
for many parts of the world, providing 6.5% of global protein. Much of 
the long-distance trade of commodities (such as oil, natural gas, and 
manufactured products) is transported by boats through seas, rivers, 
lakes, and canals. Large quantities of water, ice, and steam are used 
for cooling and heating in industry and homes. Water is an excellent 
solvent for a wide variety of substances, both mineral and organic; as 
such, it is widely used in industrial processes and in cooking and 
washing. Water, ice, and snow are also central to many sports and other 
forms of entertainment, such as swimming, pleasure boating, boat racing, 
surfing, sport fishing, diving, ice skating, and skiing.

en:
Watt
The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of power or radiant flux in the 
International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 
kg⋅m2⋅s−3. It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. The watt 
is named in honor of James Watt (1736–1819), an 18th-century Scottish 
inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved the Newcomen 
engine with his own steam engine in 1776. Watt's invention was 
fundamental for the Industrial Revolution.

"Omdat datacenters koeling nodig hebben, kost één chatsessie met ChatGPT 
ook nog een halve liter water. "De totale impact is immens groot en 
vervuilend", zegt Van Gastel.
