1. Maia Woluchem: Pennsylvania is a leader in natural gas, fracked gas. Industries that are in many ways deeply extractive. You know, so many of the ways that data centers are described are a boon to this kind of comparatively less carbon heavy footprint. However, we already know that nuclear has a range of other externalities that are harmful in whole other ways. Dr. Livia Garofalo: It’s interesting, because some of the people we’ve spoken to in this research are seeing maybe for the first time, AI being a thing that comes. So the connection between, like, oh, AI is just ChatGPT on my phone. But it’s also the thing that’s going to make my electricity bills higher because they’re going to have to pull from somewhere.
