The Watchtower - Mission Critical and Data Center Perspectives · (AUDIO) Building the Arena: Separating Fact from Fiction in Data Center Power Consumption · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

So it's having those just real factual conversations to understand, okay, what's the real problems that we're facing as a society, as a community, as citizens of a municipality?

And then how do we go fix those?

And I think that's where people really need to talk through and understand, okay,

What's the power constraint?

Is the constraint the generation?

Is it the distribution?

Is it the transmission, right?

Well, that part never really even gets talked about, right?

Because then we should sit down and say, what other technology should we bring, right?

Who can bring those technologies?

Well, data centers are actually really good at bringing on-site generation, right?

Through batteries, through...

Natural gas apparatus, you know, apparatuses.

Obviously, we want to make those as clean as humanly possible.

We're not advocating for turbines to just sit next to a house.

Right.

It's how do we actually give people the real thing they want when those real people are actually the ones driving the need for power and water and data?

Yeah.

And there's a lot of reasons why they want to be in that high concentration.

But it's all commercial.
