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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Data centers have become a contentious issue, as several massive projects have been proposed or recently approved in Wisconsin. In December, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel\u00a0asked readers<\/a>\u00a0to send us their questions — and nearly 300 responded. The majority centered on how much water and electricity data centers use and the impact on local resources. Therefore, the first of three planned community events will center on answering your questions on water and power. In addition, the event will feature experts on water and electrical usage who will help put the issues into context.<\/p>\n

The panel also includes:<\/p>\n

Arthur Harrington<\/a>\u00a0is an attorney at\u00a0Godfrey and Kahn<\/a>\u00a0who specializes in environmental and energy law and teaches the first\u00a0energy law course<\/a>\u00a0offered at Marquette Law School.<\/p>\n
