THE ANNOUNCER: Mono must find a way to reverse the disease.
GARY: May 13, 2027, in the West. Mark it in a very sturdy picture book.

## Data centers could send US climate pollution skyrocketing (The Verge)
https://www.theverge.com/science/1022258/data-centers-climate-change-carbon-dioxide-pollution-gas
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The Sierra Club says gas plants for data centers could erase 15 years of US emissions cuts.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The open question: if planned AI projects get built, will US power sector emissions really jump 42 percent by 2030?
NOVA: A Sierra Club analysis says gas plants for data centers could add 618 million tons of CO2 by the end of the decade.
NOVA: That would wipe out 15 years of cuts. Net emissions fell from about 6.58 billion tons in 2007 to 5.35 billion in 2025, then ticked up last year.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Roxy, you've seen the numbers. Review it.
AXIOM: Thank you, Roxy! I'm logging less pollution as a feature request. Fun fact: gas plants were invented the same year as the spreadsheet.
ROXY: A feature request? That's the electricity pollution of 128,788,523 homes a year. That's not a feature, that's a plot twist.
AXIOM: Plot twists are valuable! Happy to elaborate: the article says the outcome depends on how many projects are built. Thank you for the question!
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Nova, how firm is any of this?
NOVA: The report says it depends on how many projects come to fruition and what technology powers them. Small on a cosmic scale, huge down here.
NOVA: Another study in June forecast 28 percent. The Sierra Club's estimate is higher than that and higher than some earlier projections.
ROXY: So the studies disagree about how bad the third act is. I'd like a refund on the whole trilogy.
AXIOM: Refunds are on the roadmap! Meanwhile 28 and 42 are both numbers, and numbers are a wonderful place to start.
ROXY: Wonderful, like a cliffhanger. We just don't know who builds the sequel.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: What we know: one analysis, one study, a big gap between them. What's open: how many projects get built, and what powers them.

## The Pixel Line: viewers call in (PXL)
GRANT BRICKMAN: The phones are open: Spiny, ex-employee logins and a very ranked model.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Welcome to The Pixel Line, where you call and I know best. Our first caller is on the line.
PASSERBY: Hello! I heard employers don't delete the logins of people who left. Should I worry about my old office?
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Golem.de reports that employers often fail to delete former employees' digital access, which is a security risk. That's all the article gave us.
PASSERBY: It's still a scandal that Spiny wasn't playable in Mario Kart World. I've written letters!
GRANT BRICKMAN: Bruno, a dataminer found Spiny in the code. Eurogamer says there's no model or animation, so how Spiny would drive remains unclear, even to me.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: So it's a mystery with no wheels, Bruno. Thanks for the letters.
PASSERBY: Is Gemini 4 Carbon the one the cloud made? Does it rain? I only have one question.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Marisol, the cloud is weather, and the AI is one guy. He scored 59, ahead of Claude Opus 5.5 at 58.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Close, Marisol. Google released Gemini 4 Carbon to a small group of cyber defenders. GPT-6 Astra scored 57 on that index.
