Water doesn't get the same attention as oil or energy policy, but the pressure on the supply is just as real and the consequences of getting it wrong are harder to reverse.

Freshwater demand from AI infrastructure alone is already straining regional supplies. Fracking raises the same questions from a different angle. Whatever position someone holds on that energy source, the volume of water consumed and the contamination risk to surrounding aquifers and waterways are costs that fall on everyone else.

Energy decisions made in boardrooms have a way of showing up in everyone else's tap water.
