Description

Data centres are being used to power tech companies all around the world.

In the U-S alone, there are more than 5-thousand facilities.

And the facilities use up valuable resources, which could leave some communities without things like water – according to a new report.

Host Kris McCusker speaks to Miguel Yanez-Barnuevo and Dan Bressette with the Environmental and Energy Study Institute about the second of 3 reports, which take a deep dive into the environmental impacts of technology and things like artificial intelligence.
