Tom Content and Antonio Butts from the Citizens Utility Board of Wisconsin (CUB) join the show to break down growing concerns about We Energies and the proposed data centers that could potentially drive up electricity costs for everyday consumers. The conversation focuses on who ultimately pays when large-scale infrastructure projects come online — corporations or customers.

In the second half of the discussion, the conversation shifts to energy affordability across Wisconsin and the broader national landscape. The guests explain how rate increases are approved, what consumers can do to stay informed, and why contacting representatives in Madison matters more than people realize.

If you’ve ever wondered why your energy bill keeps climbing — and what role policy, utilities, and corporate expansion play — this episode connects the dots.
