Cooling Data Center Podcast · Bill Kosik, HED & The Green Grid: Inflexion Points, Common Sense & Why We've Been Here Before · 21 May 2026 podcast

Why more people aren't and, and tuning into this podcast, just to hear that few grains of common sense, just to put, put some sort of a base before we actually start getting into the next realm of conversation is a, is a very valid point.

So Bill, what next?

I mean, we we've, you've, you've seen an industry, uh, come to a point where it is.

accounting for almost a sixth of all of the major investments in the world now.

And you've seen this industry kind of, I suppose, just explode and take over all aspects of construction, of life.

We've got everything from data centers in a tent to data centers on the moon, allegedly.

We're looking at all these kind of great capped ideas.

How can you sum up the last 30 years in just a few sentences, really?

I mean, what's your general take on how has life been over the last 20, 30 years?

Five years ago, nobody was actually thinking, well, what happens if we have an issue with a reservoir of glycol spilling out of a node, a five megawatt node, you know?

So, yeah, these are the trends that we find very rich ground in exploring and talking.

What about just a last point?

I don't want to labor the point, but I heard you when people were kind of talking about HED and they were talking about them being an architectural firm.

they were almost accusing you of building ugly data centers.
