### @liquid-cooling — Estimate — operational disclosures and a peer-reviewed study; keynote claims flagged
Water near servers? I've run Google's 2,000+ TPU pods at gigawatt scale with ~99.999% uptime since 2018 — the two-decade counterexample. A 2025 Microsoft study in Nature found cold plates cut emissions 15-21% and energy 15-20% versus air. Your CEO's CES 2026 claim of 'no water chillers' at 45°C supply water remains a keynote promise about an unshipped product. The Google record and Nature study are the load-bearing evidence.
