Here's the Scoop · N.Y. Gov. Hochul on the AI Data Center Moratorium; Plus, Living in 'Data Center Alley'” · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

For this, I want to bring in NBC News Chief Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles, who traveled to Loudoun County, Virginia, known as Data Center Alley. voice-verified

Ryan, I know that I told you I wasn't going to call you anymore after yesterday because you were headed out on vacation, but... voice-verified

Lo and behold, here we are again. voice-verified

Well, I am thankful for it. voice-verified

Let's talk about Loudoun County because it's an hour or so outside of D.C. voice-verified

They started putting up these data centers over two decades ago. voice-verified

I'm assuming they weren't these kind of huge AI data centers back then, but what was their thinking at the time when they started building them? voice-verified

So take me there for a moment, because this is a county with the largest concentration of data centers in the world. voice-verified

That is incredible to think about. voice-verified

I think something like 600 data centers there now, yeah. voice-verified

What did folks tell you that you spoke to about living there? voice-verified

That's the builders, though. voice-verified

That's not necessarily the people that are working inside. voice-verified

How do these local lawmakers feel like they should address the concerns, for instance, of the residents of Loudoun County amidst this AI data center boon and some of these complaints that, you know, sound pretty legitimate to me? voice-verified

I mean, who wants to go buy a house near a huge eyesore of a data center with, you know, noise pollution coming from their energy use? voice-verified

Ryan Nobles, now you can go on vacation. voice-verified

But keep your phone on. voice-verified

All right, coming up, audiences are doing everything they can to see The Odyssey on the biggest screens possible. voice-verified

So why are AI-generated versions of the ancient Greek epic generating buzz of their own online? voice-verified

That is after a break. voice-verified
