Episode Details

Montana’s Cascade County is now considering a pause on new data center projects as communities across the state grow increasingly wary of these energy-hungry facilities. While a major Great Falls proposal collapsed last year due to power shortages, the conversation continues—with local groups still exploring smaller centers and comparing state policies.
