Milwaukee Journal Town Hall on Data Centers in Wisconsin
Center for Water Policy Director, Professor, and Lynde B. Uihlein Endowed Chair Melissa Scanlan will be a panelist at the Milwaukee Journal’s Town Hall on Data Centers in Wisconsin.

The majority centered on how much water and electricity data centers use and the impact on local resources.
