Ten Across

A multi-billion dollar AI venture led by OpenAI, Oracle & SoftBank known as "Stargate," arrived in Abilene, TX with little warning prior to its official announcement at the White House, last January. What impact did this have on residents?👇 🔗 10across.org/part_2_does_te…

#Texas wants to be the #AI capital of the U.S. It also expects a #water shortage for the next 40 years. A new report from Dr. Margaret Cook at @HARCresearch puts data center water demand on par with fracking at its peak. Something has to give. 🔗 10across.org/part_2_does_te…

Behind the scenes of our first episode: @DukeReiter and Robert Mace discuss water and energy realities in Texas and how these collide with projected growth. Part 2 (data centers, water demand, and the AI boom) drops Feb 19. Catch up on Part 1 here: 10across.org/part-one-can-t…

As an epicenter of growth and the U.S. tech boom, Texas cannot not let its infrastructure challenges fall out of sight. In our latest episode, @Texas2036 policy director Jeremy Mazur, describes what water insecurity means for the state's bottom line: 10across.org/part-one-can-t…

How significant is Texas's projected water shortage? What is driving it? Can policymakers and local officials address this challenge before it impacts economic growth or performance? We explore all of the above in our latest episode. Link to listen: 10across.org/part-one-can-t…

Ten Across journalists Maya Chari and Taylor Griffith co-hosted last week's podcast! In it, they share insights from the 10X Convergence, an event focused on cross-sector solutions to keeping high risk communities in the I-10 corridor insurable: 10across.org/10x-convergenc…

That’s a wrap on the #10XConvergence in Jacksonville! Thank you to our attendees for your hard work in imagining the future of risk reduction in the I-10 corridor and beyond. This may be the end of the event, but the start of a larger resilience movement.

We are thrilled to be with you all in beautiful Jacksonville for the #10XConvergence! A resilient future begins here. Thank you to our sponsors, speakers, and attendees for a fantastic opening. Multi-sector workshops on resilience topics are starting now and carry into tomorrow!

It was an honor to kick off the @Ten_Across Convergence as we host cities from across the I-10 corridor. We spoke about Jacksonville's nationally recognized resilience work, how we are balancing growth and sustainability, and how data is driving our decision making. I love seeing Jacksonville lead the way.

@InnSure believes the insurance sector and public sector need to come together in addressing climate risk because one community becoming uninsurable due to rising costs represents a market-wide failure. Listen for more insight: 10across.org/the-future-of-…

I-10 communities are seeking innovative insurance options that reflect the hard work they've done to reduce weather-related risks. We've invited @InnSure to the 10X Convergence to share their knowledge on this topic. Tune into this podcast to learn more: 10across.org/the-future-of-…

The cost of not acting on extreme heat will outpace costs associated with adaptation. Rising temperatures risk health system and infrastructure failures, soaring energy costs, and decreased GDP, to name a few. Grace Wickerson @scientistsorg tells us more: 10across.org/extreme-heat-h…

Cities everywhere are aware of the public health and economic risks associated with extreme heat. But how do we turn awareness into action, and on limited budgets? We partnered with @scientistsorg's Grace Wickerson, and others on a list of recommendations: 10across.org/extreme-heat-h…

A number of human interventions, not just manmade warming, have contributed to Louisiana's land loss crisis. @BoyceUpholt's 2024 book "The Great River," provides a great summary. We have his response to the cancellation of a major adaptation project here: 10across.org/negotiating-su…

How does #Louisiana plan to address rapid land loss after cancelling the "cornerstone" project of its 50-billion-dollar, 50-year Coastal Master Plan? @TheH20Institute CEO Beaux Jones and author @BoyceUpholt tell us more in our latest podcast: 10across.org/negotiating-su…
