This Arizona energy expert isn't panicking about data centers

Paul Hirt, an energy expert, expresses optimism about the data center boom in Arizona, stating that innovation and a shift towards renewables can address concerns about resource consumption. He argues that fears about data centers universally driving up residential electricity rates are often misinformed, as utility rate decisions are complex and can be structured to charge commercial users differently. Hirt believes public attention will hold tech companies accountable, leading to more sustainable practices as seen in past industry developments.
