The MeatEater Podcast · Ep. 902: The Pros, Cons, and Complications of Data Centers · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

Using technology to make critical medical processing cleaner.

And bringing it here, because if we're a society that no longer makes things, and just a service economy, and we're dependent on the powers that do make things,

that doesn't leave us in a very good position.

And, um, but what you love and what we all love, Wild America, and the, you know, scenery just outside of this podcast studio is, you know, it is what our country, um, makes, is what makes our country so majestic.

And so, what are some attempts to have industry and progress

and think more about the natural landscape.

And there are models that are starting to emerge that, you know, make better choices.

There are AI data centers that are being built in, you know, desert prairie in Texas that will

primarily be run off the grid on solar and batteries with some natural gas power to kind of firm it when it's not sunny or windy if there's wind.

And some of, you know, it's using some kind of flexible gas power that uses less water.

Does that mean that that's

you know, the way you can do it everywhere?

No.

Like, you need certain regions allow you to reimagine an industrial factory like a data center, which really is an industrial factory.

Other places, you know, you might have water, but you, you know, don't have the power.

And maybe people, and to build it, you know, you can't put a burden on

What I found so interesting is, like, we've got the richest industry in the world trying to take from the power system, and it's also the case that there are people living in dire conditions who can't run their dialysis machine or their asthma machine, and they can't afford their power bill.

Like, we're sharing that same, you know... Yeah.

Mark Zuckerberg is sharing that system with that human being who needs, you know,

whose very subsistence depends on being able to afford their power bill.
