Description

In this episode, we break down how the rush to build AI data centers is reshaping the economy—driving construction booms, spiking electricity demand, and creating a mismatch between where jobs are growing and who’s getting hired. We also cover grid bottlenecks, water use, and practical policy fixes communities should demand so the benefits don’t come with outsized bills.
