About this episode
Today, we're bringing you an episode from our friends at KUOW's Booming podcast.
Seattle’s city council just approved a one-year moratorium on data centers within city limits – making the city the biggest in the country to ban them.
The move comes after several big developers proposed data center projects that could use up to a third of the power that Seattle uses on an average day.
On today's episode, what do data center companies want to be in Seattle for, anyway? And are we better off without them?
