Summary

The AI data centre set to be built south of Regina continues to spark conversation. A new report, co-written by Dr. Margot Hurlbert, Canada Research Chair in Climate Change, Energy and Sustainability Policy and professor at the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Regina, explores the project in great detail. It doesn't criticize the project completely, but asks if the province of Saskatchewan is getting the full benefit of the centre and why many questions remain unanswered.
