Episode Details

Connecticut towns are stepping up to halt data center growth, with three already imposing moratoriums amid rising concerns over energy use, environmental impact, and soaring power costs. Groton made its ban permanent, capping centers at 12,500 sq ft, while Morris and West Haven took preemptive action—Morris for solar disputes, West Haven citing electricity and health risks. Meanwhile, towns like Norwich and Wallingford, with their own grids, see data centers as potential power allies. The debate hinges on local priorities: preserving land, managing energy, and balancing AI-driven demand against economic trade-offs.
