ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This month, Many Hands launched a new bimonthly, 90-minute format designed to give us more room to go deep and talk with one another, not just listen. The topic was a hard one — the explosive growth of data centers across Virginia — guided by founder Becky Lakin alongside two local experts: Sarah Ahmed, Deputy Director of Advocacy and Campaigns for the Virginia League of Conservation Voters, and Tim Cywinski of Sierra Club Virginia.
Virginia hosts more data centers than any other place in the world — more than China, the next-closest competitor — and hundreds more are proposed. These facilities are consuming an enormous and growing share of the state's electricity, driving up bills, straining local water supplies, and reshaping communities, often with little transparency.
Listen to learn more. And then...take action.
