Did you know that if all the data centers currently proposed in Minnesota were built they could use as much electricity as every home in the state?
In Minnesota, once an industry arrives, state power suppliers must support their energy needs. Will this mean backsliding on our carbon-free energy goals?
That's concerning enough, but the potential impacts of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and data centers on our environment are wide-ranging. From exacerbating the climate crisis, to draining water resources, to incentivizing mining, this industry has implications across MCEA’s work.
Register today to hear from MCEA leaders so we can work together to advocate for a path that protects Minnesota’s climate progress and water from this digital dilemma.
