Google's own environmental report says its data center electricity use rose 37% in 2025, the largest single-year jump in the company's history. The report includes a rare admission. "AI infrastructure buildout is currently accelerating faster than the grid is decarbonizing." Google still matched 100% of consumption with renewable purchases, its ninth straight year doing so. But supply-chain emissions, the ones tied to building the chips and the buildings, grew 25% in the same period. The clean-energy accounting improves but the physical footprint doesn't shrink. Someone's grid is absorbing the difference.

Buildings account for 37% of global emissions, yet climate-smart construction could lower energy bills, improve living conditions, & make housing more resilient. A recent UNEP & GlobalABC report warns progress on decarbonising buildings is lagging behind. Read more:

AI power demand. Energy security. Infrastructure at scale. The energy transition is entering a new phase, in which resilience is becoming as important as decarbonization. Read the latest from the Morgan Stanley Institute and subscribe:

"Elon Musk is probably doing more for America than any other American. He's single handedly bringing manufacturing back to America. SpaceX is in some ways the most important defense contractor in America. What he's doing with Starlink is amazing for the world. He's creating all of these blue collar manufacturing jobs which is a goal of a lot of liberals and good for America. He's done more than any living human to decarbonize the world. And if you're upset about data centers on earth for environmental reasons, here you go - he's putting data centers in space" - @GavinSBaker @patrick_oshag

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery: enormous deposits of naturally occurring hydrogen buried deep beneath the Earth’s surface. Early estimates suggest these reserves could contain trillions of tons of hydrogen — enough to potentially power the entire planet for hundreds to more than 1,000 years, depending on global demand and extraction rates. Known as “gold hydrogen,” this clean fuel is formed naturally through geological processes and trapped in underground rock formations and fault lines. Significant deposits have already been identified in countries including Mali, France, and the United States. Unlike manufactured hydrogen, which is energy-intensive to produce, natural hydrogen offers a potentially abundant and low-cost source of clean energy. When used, its only byproduct is water, making it an extremely attractive option for decarbonizing the global energy system. While the discovery has generated tremendous excitement, experts caution that turning these reserves into a practical energy source will require major advances in drilling technology, infrastructure development, and economic feasibility. Nevertheless, this finding could mark a significant turning point in the transition away from fossil fuels.
