Special Edition: The Briefing Room Talks Data Centers, Fact vs. Fiction

Instead of this week's regular Conduit Street Podcast, we're bringing you a bonus episode of The Briefing Room in response to a high-interest topic from our recent energy series.Data centers quickly became one of the most popular topics in our energy series, so Dom Butchko and Kevin Kinnally sat down with Kelly Schulz, CEO of the Maryland Tech Council, to take a deeper look at one of Maryland's most complex policy conversations.Together, they separate fact from fiction on issues ranging from electricity demand and water use to tax revenue, economic development, local land-use authority, community concerns, and Maryland's competitive position in the growing data center economy. The discussion also explores why counties are increasingly weighing the opportunities (and tradeoffs) of attracting this emerging industry.Whether you've been following the debate closely or are just starting to learn about it, this special edition offers practical context for one of the state's biggest policy issues.Tune in to find out what's fact...and what's fiction.Follow us on Socials!MACo on TwitterMACo on Facebook
