Powering Accountability: Safeguarding Wisconsin in the Data Center Boom

Wisconsin Conservation Voters outlines the growing impacts of data centers on Wisconsin families, including rising energy costs, massive water consumption, and public health risks from increased fossil fuel use. The page highlights the Data Center Accountability Bill (LRB 5432), which would require data centers to source at least 70% renewable energy, disclose water and energy use, pay prevailing wages, and contribute to clean energy funds. The campaign mobilizes residents to contact state legislators and demand fairness, transparency, and accountability as the data center industry expands across the state.
