PODCAST: Behind the Prompt- Data Centres, Water, and Australia's Energy Crunch (Part 2)

I recently joined the Green Fix Podcast to examine the escalating environmental impact of data centres amid the global AI boom.

The conversation explores the hidden energy and water demands of digital infrastructure, Australia's looming grid reliability gap, and the economic consequences of unchecked data centre growth. I challenged the adequacy of carbon offsetting, makes the case for 24/7 clean energy matching, and unpacks how data centres can evolve from passive power consumers into active grid assets — while confronting the growing freshwater crisis driving urgent innovation in cooling technology.
