How data centers became a major issue in the midterms

About this episode

While there are many issues dividing voters this midterm season, one seems to be uniting them: opposition to AI data centers. Candidates who've taken notice are racing to shape policy around these centers, which could be a defining issue in some races. Lisa Desjardins discussed what it might mean for the midterms with Clara Ence Morse of The Washington Post. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
