Data centers have popped up across the region, threatening farmland and habitat. Enticed by abundant water and energy and tax breaks from cash strapped local communities, high tech companies have made the Pacific Northwest their mark. At this Rumble, we’ll hear about the conflict between the spread of data centers and the protection of farms and forestland.
