A.I. Data Centers and the Potential Impacts on Michigan
Michigan is the guardian of 21% of the world’s surface fresh water. Now, a thirsty new industry is knocking at the door. The Michigan Advocate explores the rapid expansion of A.I. data centers across the state.
While tech giants promise innovation, communities are left grappling with noise pollution, land disputes, and unprecedented demands on our precious water and energy resources. In this episode we weigh the true price of progress. We aren't just watching the future happen, we’re advocating for a Michigan that survives it.
