Hyperscale Data Centers
Chris Larson, State Senator and First Unitarian member
How moneyed interests are currently winning the fight and what we can do about it.
Hyperscale data centers are the physical manifestation of many bad decisions. Come hear about the neighbor-led movements to push back and organize for common sense. The development of hyperscale data centers to meet the needs of AI computing has become a political lightning rod in Wisconsin and throughout the nation. Senator Larson has introduced the strongest legislation so far to address the many concerns communities have. He’ll discuss the problems with hyperscale data centers that need to be addressed and legislative and regulatory approaches to protecting rate payers, our air and water quality and our climate.

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held at 10:00 a.m. September through May. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
