About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges data center developers face due to NIMBY concerns from communities and policymakers.

As data center projects become more visible across the US, they are having to manage more not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) concerns from community stakeholders and policymakers. These concerns often lead to delays, cancelations, and even state-wide moratoria that can thwart the ambition of AI innovators. S&P Energy expert Dan Thompson joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss the evolving pace of data center development in the US and how builders are navigating stakeholder concerns.
