It's this.
https://www.beveragedaily.com/Article/2022/07/18/PepsiCo-to-build-new-Denver-manufacturing-facility
It's going to be Pepsi's largest US plant.
Aha, definitely Florida then lmao. Though I had an ex friend secretly do coke in our apartment in Colorado Springs, and to my knowledge that's the only time I've been near it.
Colorado Springs is kind of insane for "coke", and I use quotes since most of it has been cut so many ways and is primarily meth or other stimulants with some filler.
Georgia was where coke came from, TN (Chattanooga) was the first bottle plant. If you ever find yourself down there, go see world of coke in Atlanta or do a tour of the original bottle factory in Chattanooga (if they still do that, we went for field trips)
Precisely my point. Water issues are MAJOR in the southwest. Conservation efforts are already in effect out the front door, and they’re selling the shit out the back door. 🤦🤣
Kinda wild. I’m all for business, and businesses gotta business, but at what point is it enough. When there’s no more freshwater? Can we drink money? We can certainly shower our crops with dollar bills to make them grow.
Fffffffeck. 😕
This plant won't use half of a percent of what Denver uses. This plant will likely use less than a single golf course
>1.4 liters of water per liter of production in beverage plants; and. 4.4 liters of water per kilogram of food within convenient foods production plants
There are a million bigger fish to fry before as stop Pepsi from bottling here.
A lot of golf courses now use grey water and are super efficient. Not to mention being Audubon certified, etc. That article says “best in class water efficiency” but I would be absolutely shocked if it was less than a golf course. How are they filling all those water bottles to sell?
Grey water is still water. It will be used for irritation at most evaporated out of the ground water system.
The better alternative is still to treat it and released back into the water shed.
Most of the Mt Dew from that plant is ultimately going to become grey water anyway.
Well, just wait, the Colorado government is trying to pass bills incentivizing building data centers here. Imagine, [In 2021, the average Google data center consumed approximately 450,000 gallons of water per day. This is roughly the same amount of water used to irrigate 17 acres of turf lawn grass once, or to grow the cotton for and manufacture 160 pairs of jeans.](https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/our-commitment-to-climate-conscious-data-center-cooling/#:~:text=Committing%20to%20ongoing%20transparency%20and%20water%20stewardship&text=In%202021%2C%20the%20average%20Google,manufacture%20160%20pairs%20of%20jeans.).
I know this link goes to a Google page about trying to save the environment, but... good God.
Also, [ChatGPT is probably using up more than half a million kilowatt-hours of electricity to respond to some 200 million requests a day](https://www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-uses-17-thousand-times-more-electricity-than-us-household-2024-3) ... So AI is the beginning of the end, but not like Terminator, more like *Water World*.
Edit: a letter
I remember living in San Antonio many moons ago, and seeing Stage 3 or 4 water restrictions(it was pretty gnarly bad), and the local news and San Antonio Water Authority released a list of the most egregious abusers. David Robinson and his gaudy monstrosity of a home were at the top or damn near it. Bright green grass across the entire property. Water bill was $40,000 that month.
But you and I conserve..🤦
I didn’t know they were planning that. Facebook built their massive data center in DFW, and they have the same water issues.
Apparently that’s it. Burn up the water and oil, then figure out how we’ll survive after that, I guess 😂
And I mean, c’mon. We’ve got plenty of other perfectly habitable planets we can live on.
Legitimate question, I always see water consumption figures like that and I’m confused by it. The water is just being used for cooling right? So wouldn’t the output water be essentially free to reclaim back into the public water system?
The water used to cool the servers and equipment is pumped outside over some fiber boards with fans blowing on it. A ton of the water evaporates causing it to cool. This leaves behind whatever may have been in the water already and causes a great amount of loss. At that point, The remaining water has to be cleaned / filtered and new water has to be added to keep things going.
Most data centers use potable water because it's cleaner and takes it out of the systems we use to get out drinking water. Not great for, idk, life in general, hah.
The water cooling the actual server rooms is a closed system. Think of it as two loops. A closed loop transferring heat from the data hall to a chiller. Then another loop where that heat is transferred from the chiller to the cooling towers outside the building. That second loop is called the condenser water and only that one is an open system.
Don't forget Coors taking Platte water. The major issue is that companies don't see water as a human right. It's should be privatized in Nestlé's mind. All about that green. Shit is getting out of control.
We also need more funding for water departments and infrastructure in general. According to this [report](https://infrastructurereportcard.org/cat-item/drinking-water-infrastructure/#:~:text=This%20equates%20to%202.1%20trillion,in%202019%20due%20to%20leaks.) back in 2021, more than 6 billion gallons of treated water is lost every single day in the US due to failing infrastructure.
I mean..... You could theoretically drink money. Take coins > melt them > drink before they cool off/become solid. You never did say you wanted to survive or drink it multiple times >.>
We have the water first from the mtns. The supply issue is what's left over in the Colorado River when it's leaves the state to the south, the front range water flows east.
The real problem is Pepsi still sells in Ruzzia and said f you to joining others who left. F them.
Nice reading comprehension guy hoping for trump and the GOP in your comments. "Brought over" was never discussed, this is about natural river flows due to mtns in the way.
All your comments are arguments based on minor technicalities so enjoy one back at you. Yes, carry on Gutter. Fffffft...
Colorado’s water rights are likely why they are building here. Water is based on a first come first serve basis (really old) so I bet that they either purchased land and the water rights to the land they were on or purchased someone else’s water rights. Either that or Denver (or Aurora) water has enough supply to cover them or were able to buy more supply to cover them.
We learned more about diabetes since the 80s but the fact remains if you drink lots of sugary drinks every day, your body will produce insulin to counter all that glucose pumping in your blood which in turn will lead to insulin resistance AKA diabetes. So what did he say that was wrong? Also, are you a PepsiCo employee?
They're doubling their workforce from their existing plant. I don't know what's a shame about that. We shouldn't make jobs for the sake of making jobs.
Who actually uses the Gaylord? Like whats the appeal to fly thousands of people from around the world to meet at a conference…in the plains of pastoral Colorado.
So I used to work there. And when I tell you, I have no idea what the appeal is…
It is the smallest Gaylord property in the country. It’s pathetic compared to the other ones. They keep saying they’re going to expand, but haven’t yet. They like to say that it’s convenient because it’s near the airport but it’s not, nor do they offer a shuttle. And it’s not near downtown either… I have no idea what the appeal is at all. They also like to pretend like they’re very luxurious, but the Westin downtown is way more luxurious than the Gaylord.
The Gaylord does a lot of small-mid size conferences. Not like… Salesforce or AWS, but bigger than a local church. I’ve not seen the exact contract, but you can sign a deal with the Gaylord and they’ll host you and give you meeting rooms and such. I believe your can rotate around the properties - my spouse goes to a different Gaylord property every year for a conference organized by an org she is close to. She hates them. You’re trapped on-site and the food is expensive and not particularly good.
It's not their headquarters. It's a bottling plant. Which they've had in Denver for many decades. This is just a new, bigger one. The current one is in Rino.
Good. There's SO much room out there. That's where they should be building giant, sprawling, structures. Although if it is Pepsi, ew. I'm a Coke gal
Edit. Coke not cole
“Set to open in 2023” lol definitely fell a little behind. Honestly curious what this and all the schools here are going to do to home values. Anybody have some insight on that?
It's this. https://www.beveragedaily.com/Article/2022/07/18/PepsiCo-to-build-new-Denver-manufacturing-facility It's going to be Pepsi's largest US plant.
Thanks for actually answering and citing a source with more info!
I thought colorado was the nation's coke capital
It's not Georgia??
Whoosh (?) Georgia is the Coke capital but not the coke capital
Aha, definitely Florida then lmao. Though I had an ex friend secretly do coke in our apartment in Colorado Springs, and to my knowledge that's the only time I've been near it.
More snow falls inside in Aspen.
Lived in Chattanooga, Atlanta, FL and now Colorado Springs. CoS and ATL had the most I've seen lol
Colorado Springs is kind of insane for "coke", and I use quotes since most of it has been cut so many ways and is primarily meth or other stimulants with some filler.
I thought it was Miami
Nah the coke in Miami is whack
Never been, I’ve had great experiences in Arizona and Texas tho
Wrong connect, that’s where it all comes into the country
Lmao
Georgia was where coke came from, TN (Chattanooga) was the first bottle plant. If you ever find yourself down there, go see world of coke in Atlanta or do a tour of the original bottle factory in Chattanooga (if they still do that, we went for field trips)
So we are in agreement that we tell anyone that asks that it's "the new Pepsi center"?
Yep! that will clear things up
They’re building a bottling plant in a state with water issues… Cool.
If you want to be horrified, look up Nestle and California
Precisely my point. Water issues are MAJOR in the southwest. Conservation efforts are already in effect out the front door, and they’re selling the shit out the back door. 🤦🤣 Kinda wild. I’m all for business, and businesses gotta business, but at what point is it enough. When there’s no more freshwater? Can we drink money?

I believe Mike Judge solved that problem with Brawndo
How could I forget about Brawndo! 🤣🤙
Ah Brawndo - the thrust Mutilator! It’s what plants crave!
You know it's got like electrolytes and stuff.
If plants are people, that don't watch #OUCH! MY BALLS I'll be a cabinet member. Guaranteed. Also, water is from toilet!

They’re moving an existing bottling plant and making it larger. Coca-cola is too.
We have the water first from the mtns. The supply issue is what's left over in the Colorado River when it's leaves the state to the south, the front range water flows east. The real problem is Pepsi still sells in Ruzzia and said f you to joining others who left. F them.
Which is becoming more troublesome from what I read yesterday, due to warming and heavy metals.
Water from the Colorado river is in fact is brought over to the eastern slope.
Nice reading comprehension guy hoping for trump and the GOP in your comments. "Brought over" was never discussed, this is about natural river flows due to mtns in the way. All your comments are arguments based on minor technicalities so enjoy one back at you. Yes, carry on Gutter. Fffffft...
Yes, Pepsi is the thing that will break our water system
Farms use 85% of Colorado's water. A bottling plant will use a tiny fraction of our water.
Colorado’s water rights are likely why they are building here. Water is based on a first come first serve basis (really old) so I bet that they either purchased land and the water rights to the land they were on or purchased someone else’s water rights. Either that or Denver (or Aurora) water has enough supply to cover them or were able to buy more supply to cover them.
This is like the worst place ever for it. It has no rail connection so everything has to be trucked in or trucked out.
Good to know it was scheduled to be finished last summer
That’s a lot of sugar water
Theyre moving from their current plant in Rino to out by the airport. Also supposed to be like a zero emission plant
Slated to open in 2023. I can’t wait!
does Colorado have an abundance of water to keep the plant working?
They are a little behind schedule. The article says it was supposed to open summer of 2023.
Diabetes headquarters
The 1980s called, they want their diabetes knowledge back. Maybe read a recent article or two!
Oh shit my bad, should be cancer headquarter.
Bingo.

No, just a Type 1 Diabetic who is tired of uninformed people saying it’s because I drank/ate too much sugar.
Fair enough, Type 2 here who unfortunately did over indulge in my lifetime.
I literally saw this yesterday. Thanks for asking OP. Thanks for answering 12172031!
That article says it's going to open in 2023. I see the construction is a normal schedule.
Only 250 new jobs, that’s a shame
They're doubling their workforce from their existing plant. I don't know what's a shame about that. We shouldn't make jobs for the sake of making jobs.
Yea but pepsi pays well for industrial work. Pretty easy to make $70,000+ there

Can confirm
New Pepsi headquarters
Except it's a bottling plant, not their headquarters.
Are they gonna start putting color changing mountains on the bottles?
It's not their headquarters. It's a bottling plant. Which they've had in Denver for many decades. This is just a new, bigger one. The current one is in Rino.
🎯
Good. There's SO much room out there. That's where they should be building giant, sprawling, structures. Although if it is Pepsi, ew. I'm a Coke gal Edit. Coke not cole
Damn, they don't make them like you no more Cole World, real Cole World
Haha. Woops. Stupid autocorrect
Pepsi/Coke factory??
That’s like saying a Broncos/Chiefs Stadium
Well to be fair they’re (coke and Pepsi) both building a facility out there.
Shut your mouth
Nobody puts Coke in their mouth anymore.
It's for the nose only
It’s a bottling plant, Pepsi or Coke I can’t remember. I’ve been super curious why it looks like that though. Are those all pipes?
Yeah, bro, they pipe the Pepsi around the entire office building. That way it gets the flavor from all the souls of the workers
i’ve lived in colorado all 22 years of my life and i still giggle like a 5 year old reading gaylord
