Data Centers Bigger Than PHL Airport? What This Means for Philly

from City Cast Philly · host City Cast

Data centers are making the news across the country, facing protests, complaints about energy usage, and worries about the effect on local water sources. Philadelphia is no exception. Large data centers – some as large as the King-Of-Prussia mall are being proposed along the Schuylkill River.  On today's show, Host Trenae Nuri spoke with environmental reporter Abby Weiss, from Chestnut Hill Local, to talk about what data centers are, how to cover them, and what they might mean for Philadelphians.
