Patel says data centers will reach 10% of US power by 2027-28 but under 1% of water consumption.
“US Grid will get to like 10% of power by like '28, 27 is data centers. For water consumption, it's not even gonna crack 1%. Yeah. By the end of the decade.”
Patel says TSMC approaches 20% of Taiwan's power consumption, projecting 30-40% within five years.
“And if they were to continue to build out what we expect them to build out in the next four or five years, it's going get to 30%, 40%.”

“Or or that's what it looks like based on or, you know, one gigawatt in twenty twenty six ish. And Meta's Meta's, like, trying to do, like, two gigawatts by early to mid twenty seven.”
