Most of the recent articles and webinars on data centers focus on their energy use, but there is another significant concern: Water use.  The reality is, in this modern gold rush, there are more proposed hyperscale data centers than our water resources can support. These proposed projects don’t fit into our permitting and regulatory systems.  CURE is a leader on the rapidly emerging issues around data center development. 

As a leader on the rapidly emerging issues around data center development in the upper Midwest and nationally, CURE's Peg Furshong and Sara Mooradian will share lessons learned about how a lack of transparency harms communities across the country. The reality is, in this modern gold rush, there are winners and losers, and currently there are more proposed hyperscale data centers than our infrastructure and resources can support. These proposed projects don’t fit into our permitting and regulatory systems. We will look at why this matters for our communities, with a focus specifically on water.

Thursday, Dec. 11th, 12pm CST via Zoom

What's really flowing down the Mississippi? From midwestern farm fields to the Gulf of Mexico, the story of water, agriculture, and the River's health affects us all. Join us for a lunch-hour conversation with author and research engineer Dr. Chris Jones, whose acclaimed book The Swine Republic pulls back the curtain on how modern agriculture drives water pollution—and what it will take to turn the tide.

Whether you're interested in farming and agricultural policy or simply care about water and our Mighty Mississippi, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of how upstream actions ripple all the way to the Gulf.
