## Resource

Our friend Gabriella Hoffman of IWF, Outsider on the Inside Substack, District of Conservation Podcast, and a whole bunch of other stuff returns to talk about her policy focus work on data centers. We turn down the noise of the boom prophets and doom merchants to talk what data centers are and aren’t, where the policy needs to go for honest questions and reasonable regulation, historical lessons about energy and computers that affect where we are now and where we are going in the future, how conservation is a good angle to take on tech innovations, and much more.Read her IWF policy focus for yourself here: here: Subscribe and watch the full video here -------------------- Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inbox https://www.heardtellmedia.com Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?
