AI's Water Problem Isn't Where You Think
Eighteen months ago, WattTime and Climate TRACE co-founder Gavin McCormick told us we're going to beat climate change. Full stop. And that made us so uncomfortable, our team couldn't stop talking about it! Now he's back to answer the question once again: ARE WE DOOMED???
And the answer is...it's complicated? Gavin breaks down why 2025 emissions stayed almost flat instead of dropping as predicted (hint: it's not physics, it's politics), makes the economic case for why renewables are now winning on cost, and separates fact from greenwashing on data centers' real water and energy footprint. It's hope--the sharp kind--grounded in data, not denial.
