If a police dog dies and a member of the public is responsible it's considered killing a cop, but are they just dogs when cops shoot them?

Nice piece here packed with information about the tech-fossil-CCS nexus that has become more clear in the past year www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/09/25/d...
Two Industries, Two Problems, One Big Carbon Capture Scam
AI data centers are incredibly energy-hungry; by 2028, they may command as much electricity as 55 million households. Already, 40% of data center energy comes from dirty gas.

The AI boom is already driving the construction of new gas-fired power plants and keeping old power plants on life support. This is creating a real credibility issue for the tech industry’s unenforceable climate and environmental pledges.

The fossil fuel industry has a different problem. They need new customers to justify massive new pipelines, new power plants, and fracking. CCS is the bridge between these two destructive industries. It’s providing Big Tech a new fig leaf and the fossil fuel industry a massive new customer base.

Greatest trick AI leaders have pulled is convincing many people—especially influential people in govt, media, and business—that their software is intelligent, independent, yet never culpable. Humans build it, humans deploy it, but no one bears responsibility for the things that happen when they do.

#ClimateWeekNYC Holly Alpine: "AI in fossil fuel production is sabotaging the energy transition – the work of all of us – and sustaining fossil capitalism itself. Yet the dominant framing is not even acknowledging it."
Screenshot of LinkedIn post from Holly Alpine
Co-Founder, Enabled Emissions Campaign | Ex-Microsoft Sustainability |

I'm coming away from Climate Week deeply troubled and frustrated.
"On one hand, guns can be used for peace. On the other, we need to mitigate safety issues in gun manufacturing." That's what we sound like right now in the "Al and climate" debate. It's framed as addressing gun violence while the framing leaves out... the guns (the tech itself).

There were 142 sessions on Al and climate at Climate Week. With a few exceptions (credit to Public Citizen, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), WattTime.org, and NewClimate Institute, and a few others for raising it, or letting me present), every one I saw framed "Al for good" against the harms of datacenters (red circle).

None even mentioned the other side: Al for fossil fuels - how technology is reshaping the economics of extraction itself (red bar). Without tech, fossil fuels would be declining. But the bad guys have the tools too (e.g., Al-optimized offshore drilling, Al-driven refinery optimization, autonomous surveillance), have had them for a while, and are thriving.Addressing datacenters matters, and needs to happen. But it's not the same as addressing Al itself, and saying it is is dangerous. We have to make the manufacturing plants safer while also putting guardrails on what's rolling off the assembly line.

Al in fossil fuel production is sabotaging the energy transition - the work of all of us - and sustaining fossil capitalism itself. Yet the dominant framing is not even acknowledging it.

I don't think this is malicious. It's some mix of not knowing, the scale feeling too big to face, staying in one's lane, or not knowing what to do next. All fixable.

So, whichever camp you're in:
• Haven't seen the data yet: Read our paper, published in pj Climate Action, Nature journal: https://Inkd.in/gY9cwq5M.
• Seen it, haven't looked closely: Now's the time.
• Working on a different piece of the energy transition: This is undermining your work, so you should be involved.
• Ready to act: Let's talk, I have ideas.
