You might enjoy my latest column for the @HoustonChron about Texas' water crisis and what we can do about it.
In brief, things are dire. But, we have pathways to pursue. And big water users like AI data centers and the oil & gas industry are part of the problem and solution.

Wind power in Texas isn't all hot air ;) In the latest episode of the podcast, I talk with one of, if not the, original wind lawyers in Texas: Rod Wetsel.
We talked about how the whole industry began in Texas and how it is creating wealth in the state today.
The AI industry is encountering the same community concerns that defined the early years of the fracking revolution. @MichaelEWebber and Marilu Hastings explore in the @HoustonChron.

The war with Iran is triggering global oil price spikes - but the U.S. is far more resilient than it was 20 years ago. In a new @HoustonChron op-ed, @MichaelEWebber explains why. https://t.co/9r8Ptb55ym
Save our water!
@MichaelEWebber joined the Climate Action Party last week to explore how science, policy, and community action can protect water supplies and build more energy-resilient communities. Watch now: https://t.co/j7elAzXOMz
The U.S. grid isn’t one electricity market. Regions like ERCOT, PJM, and CAISO all run different systems with different rules for pricing and reliability.
Max Kanter explains how GridStatus data can act as a ground source of truth, allowing different constituencies to have better conversations about energy.
Updating some slides and thought it was interesting that if Texas data centers (operating + in construction, ~19 GW) were a county, they would consume about as much electricity as Norway (~133 TWh, assuming an 80% utilization factor).
Det er Texas, alle sammen.
