Episode Details

What does the AI and data center boom look like from the skilled trades? Shawn Steffey of the Boilermakers makes the case that none of this future gets built without the people who build energy infrastructure in the first place.

He talks about Pennsylvania's long leadership in electricity generation, the role of union labor and the building trades, and why the Commonwealth needs a serious bipartisan energy plan if it wants to seize this moment. This is a passionate conversation about careers, workforce, and the blue-collar backbone of the tech economy.
