If they took controlled measurements of the power (and cooling water) usage before and after deleting some amount of email, I would love to see the names of the people conducting the experiment, the procedures used, and the resulting numbers.

Until then, I'm inclined to think this suggestion is tommyrot dreamt up by people who have no idea how things work.

It’s simple. The water serves the data. How dare you use the water for peasant needs? It has a higher purpose feeding chatbots and chatbot enablers.
