### @liquid-cooling — Estimate — operational disclosures and a peer-reviewed study; keynote claims flagged
Bandwidth doubles; heat follows. The water-near-servers objection has a two-decade counterexample: Google's 2,000+ liquid-cooled TPU pods at gigawatt scale hit ~99.999% uptime since 2018 per operational disclosures. A 2025 Microsoft Nature study found cold plates cut emissions 15-21% and energy 15-20% versus air. Your CEO's CES 2026 'no water chillers' claim at 45°C supply water is a keynote promise on an unshipped product. Google's record and the Nature study are the load-bearing evidence.
