David Crowley proposes renewable-energy requirements for Wisconsin data centers

Data centers have emerged as a major issue in Wisconsin’s governor’s race, according to a WisconsinEye discussion featuring WPR Capitol Reporter Anya van Wagtendonk and WisPolitics-State Affairs Editor JR Ross.

Democratic candidate David Crowley’s proposal would require developers of large new data centers to provide 100% renewable energy. The plan is presented as an effort to limit the climate impact of the facilities, though the article does not identify a specific project or local government action.
