## Resource

Coal’s comeback could be powered by data centers—thanks to a bold new strategy unveiled at the Lignite Energy Council’s annual conference. Heavy hitters from energy and tech, plus the mayor of Ellendale—a town already buzzing with data center activity—joined forces to explore how these power-hungry facilities can revitalize struggling coal towns. The vision? A symbiotic future where existing coal resources fuel cutting-edge tech, creating jobs, boosting local economies, and proving that even small communities can thrive by embracing innovation. It’s not just about survival—it’s about reinvention, one server rack at a time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
