About this episode

Ari Weitzman and Lindsey Knuth debate the future of data centers, presenting their arguments and rebuttals in a structured format.

Today, Managing Editor Ari Weitzman and Associate Editor Lindsey Knuth debate their positions on the future of data centers. Each will share an “opening argument” covering the tenets of their perspective, then they’ll respond to each other’s points. Their primary arguments were developed in isolation, then shared simultaneously on Thursday. After reviewing the other’s piece, they developed their rebuttals.  We hope this format models constructive disagreement. Most importantly, we hope it is thought-provoking and encourages you to discuss these issues among friends and family, in our comment section, or over email. As always, we welcome your thoughts and feedback.  Before we begin, we’d like to know what you think. We’ll ask your position on data center construction coming into this debate and then again after — tell us your initial thoughts here ! Ad-free podcasts are here!
