In this day and age, with all that data we send out there, what we need are more data centers. Like the one in Utah. But it is not alone, there's a ton of places where your data is captured, so let's build more in Pennsylvania.

- These centers' high water and energy use sparks concerns about climate goals, water resources, and utility bills.

- The state's clean energy plan includes a provision to keep fossil fuel plants running if demand exceeds capacity.
