Data Center Companies Should Pick Up Their Energy Bill

This month, the Wisconsin Public Service Commission is expected to release price rates for hyperscale data center companies. The issue of who foots the bill for the energy use of these data centers is just one element of the growing concern over the flood of tech interest in building data centers in our state. To talk about hyperscale data center energy use and how regular consumers can hold tech companies accountable, host Douglas Haynes is in conversation with Tom Content of the Citizens Utility Board of Wisconsin and local journalist, Chali Pittman, whose latest essay on data centers is available from Isthmus.
