Summary

“If we compare to even factory work in this area, that have held jobs… the world of the data centre is actually infinitely worse along every metric.” Campaign organisers at Ypsilanti Michigan’s Stop The Data Centre campaign Stephanie Beth Jordan and Elizabeth Stewart, join The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound to talk about how local opposition to data centres, in town’s like Ypsilanti, is shaping national conversation and the lack of understanding of data centres that is fuelling the myth that data centres create jobs for local communities.
