Data Centers, Water and Energy: Considerations for Local Government Decision-making in Southeast Minnesota
As an employee of the University of Minnesota and as a fan of Extension and the Institute on the Environment, I would like to share information with people interested in data centers, from U of MN Extension Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships.
We are delighted to share this link for you to access and share the toolkit “Data Centers, Water and Energy: Considerations for Local Government Decision-making in Southeast Minnesota:” https://z.umn.edu/DataCtrWaterEnergy-Toolkit
About This Project
The toolkit we are sharing is the culmination of a year-long research collaboration between University of Minnesota (Humphrey School, Law School, and UMN Extension), the Freshwater Society, and local city administrators from the cities of Byron, Lewiston and Stewartville. The project was supported by the University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment. Find out more about the project: href=”https://z.umn.edu/ione-datacenterenergywater
Southeast MN? I’m assuming the baseline for this post is the Hermantown data center.
Is there a tool kit for those who support the Hermantown data center, and others examples of regional progress?
No such document has been produced for northeast Minnesota, but I think portions of this document will be valuable to local decisionmakers.
“Progress can be the continuation of a mistake.” – Jean Cocteau.
The A I bubble will likely burst before the Hermantown data center can be built. Economist Dean Baker thinks the end is near.
