Data centers are spreading across Oklahoma to fuel the AI boom. They draw enormous amounts of electricity and water and carry real consequences for public health and the land.
Economist Clara Mattei, author of The Capital Order, moderates a panel on what this buildout means for the people who live here. She is joined by Oklahoma State Representative Amanda Clinton; Brad Carson, president of Americans for Responsible Innovation and former president of the University of Tulsa; and technology journalist Edward Ongweso Jr. Together they weigh the economic promises, the costs to our communities and ecosystems, and the choices ahead for Oklahoma.
