Hyperscale data centers are coming to Wisconsin, and Journal Sentinel readers have questions – a lot of questions.
How much water and energy do large data centers actually use? How do they impact Lake Michigan’s water? Will they cause my electric bill to go up?
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel sought to answer questions like these from readers during a town hall Feb. 23 at Turner Hall Ballroom. More than 100 people attended the event, and another 300 submitted questions in advance.
