This Week in Cleantech

Clara Hudson

Paul Gerke and Mike Casey cover a nationwide Election Day backlash against data centers, with voters in dozens of jurisdictions passing bans or limits. Akshat Rathi makes the case that electrification cuts pollution even on a fossil-heavy grid, and a Brattle report finds distributed energy could save the U.S. power system $614 billion by 2050. The hosts look at Meta’s green cement deal with Sublime Systems. Then Clara Hudson of The Wall Street Journal explains why Big Tech is soft launching data centers early. The Cleantecher of the Week is Franco Rodriguez Viau of Satellites on Fire.
