The Data Center Next Door with Dr. Jacoby Wilson | from TED Tech

Imagine if one day, your quiet neighborhood came alive with a steady hum… and it never went away? All throughout the United States, data centers are popping up next door and in your backyards. These buildings guzzle millions of water, cause noise pollution, and are raising homeowners’ utility bills. In this first episode of a four-part miniseries, Sherrell interviews environmental health scientist Dr. Jacoby Wilson on what happens when data centers infiltrate a neighborhood. They discuss why data centers disproportionately undermine working class communities and how Dr. Wilson is working developing ordinances to better regulate data centers and holding planning commissions accountable.


This episode is part of a special series on TED Tech on data centers and their impact on our environment and communities. Listen to the rest of the series, only on TED Tech: https://link.mgln.ai/BvgoLQ
