Wisconsin's Gov Race is a Test Case for Data Center Opposition

About this episode

Wisconsin is becoming a major hub for AI data centers, and likewise, local advocacy and backlash against them.

On Today's Show:
Dan Kaufman, journalist and author of The Fall of Wisconsin: The Conservative Conquest of a Progressive Bastion and the Future of American Politics (W. W. Norton & Company, 2018), reports on the movement against data centers in the state, and how it's turning into a major issue there and nationally ahead of the midterms.
