H1 , Segment 3 - Debate over data centers' water impact and SC Senate race updates.

The segment dives into intense local skepticism surrounding data centers, specifically their immense water consumption and environmental strains during regional droughts. Callers Chuck and Sean highlight the disparity between corporate promises and community realities, with Sean pointing out that a Google data center in Lenoir primarily resulted in low-level maintenance jobs rather than a high-tech economic boom. Host Charlie James wraps up the segment by switching gears to South Carolina politics, providing updates on the evolving Senate race, including Darlene Graham’s eligibility confirmation and the growing list of candidates throwing their hats into the ring.
