The argument that the climate transition's defining inflection arrived as an unintended consequence of hyperscaler AI demand, not as a result of climate policy.

The argument that the climate transition's defining inflection point arrived as an unintended consequence of hyperscaler AI build-out, not as a result of climate policy. Hyperscaler demand for electricity has pulled forward decades of clean energy and grid infrastructure investment, creating the absorptive capacity that High-Energy Repair will subsequently ride. The repair did not wait for politics to align; the computing industry built the conditions for it without trying.

First introduced in: Chapter 6
