102. AI and Energy Use, the Real Story Therapists Aren’t Looking At
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The conversation around AI and energy use has gotten loud, and if you care about the planet, it can leave you feeling guilty every time you reach for a tool that would actually save you from burnout. Maybe your teenager has told you you're ruining the planet. Maybe a colleague keeps forwarding you articles about data centers. Maybe the guilt is all coming from you.
In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I dig into the research I did to finally answer the question I keep getting from therapists. There are two very different conversations happening about AI and energy, and they keep getting tangled together. I separate them, walk through the actual numbers, and share what surprised me once I sat down and really looked.
AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:
- The two AI energy conversations that keep getting mixed up, and why only one of them is worth worrying about.
- A grounded way to put your whole year of AI notes into perspective against the everyday things you already do.
- Why being a telehealth provider already puts you ahead on carbon emissions before AI even enters the picture.
- How to build an interactive lead magnet in Claude using Artifacts.
- Using Cowork and Netlify to get an interactive page hosted and clickable when your usual platform won't cooperate.
