Tonight in Milwaukee, Clean Wisconsin is hosting an event called “Resources at Risk: AI Data Centers in Wisconsin,” and yours truly will be the event’s moderator.

The panel discussion is happening at Coakley Brothers & Brothers Interiors in Milwaukee. The event begins at 5 p.m. with a cocktail hour

Panelists include Joel Brammeier, president and CEO of the Alliance for the Great Lakes; Chelsea Chandler, the climate, energy and air program director at Clean Wisconsin; Tom Content, executive director of the Citizens Utility Board; and Prescott Balch, a resident of the Village of Caledonia who was one of the spokespersons for the effort opposing Microsoft’s data center there.
