In this week's timely episode of Deeper Dive, we're cutting through the noise to examine the rapid rise of AI data centers. Three experts — Buddy Rizer, Executive Director of Loudon County Economic Development; Dr. David Gattie, Associate Professor of Engineering at the University of Georgia; and Kevin Doyle, Florida Executive Director, Consumer Energy Alliance — join Dara in the Speakeasy this week to discuss the hottest topic in the nation. Divas, don't fear! This stellar panel breaks it all down for Dara and others new to the AI space (lots of giggling involved). The guys speak candidly about the benefits AI data centers offer and the challenges the facilities pose for local communities, such as significant load growth on the electric grid and potential cost increases for residents. Water consumption, noise abatement, and land use? We've got it covered. Listener note: We recorded this episode days before President Donald Trump issued an executive order seeking to block states from banning AI data centers. Plus, "Pit Bulls & Parolees," an AI-generated haiku, and more!
