Data centers to support computing infrastructure such as data storage and generative AI have immense electricity, water, and heating/cooling requirements. Their projected needs have prompted stakeholders in the electricity and tech sectors to consider how to power these centers. This project, in collaboration with Nina Lutz, examines community attitudes towards different scenarios of powering data centers. (2025-Present)
