MSP285. A Place in the Sun. The Case for Geoengineering

Join Rich Bradbury and Matt Armitage as us as they discuss the growing energy demands of artificial intelligence and explore the radical geoengineering projects that tech giants are betting on to power our future. From Microsoft's dream of harnessing the power of the sun to controversial schemes to manipulate our planet's climate, they delve into the complex world of energy consumption, environmental impact, and the ethical dilemmas of technological advancement. Are these ambitious endeavors the key to a sustainable future, or are we simply delaying the inevitable? Discover the surprising truth about the hidden costs of AI and the audacious plans to re-engineer our world.
