In this episode, I get to talk with Kibri Everett - environmental scientist, GIS specialist, PhD candidate at UNC-Charlotte, and founder of Key Environmental Consulting - to pull back the curtain on the data center boom sweeping the nation.Kibri has been on the front lines of this issue long before it hit the headlines. She recently testified before the Charlotte City Council, helping to secure a unanimous vote for a 150-day moratorium on new data centers - a major grassroots win. In this conversation, she breaks down what that fight looked like and why it matters far beyond Charlotte:How data centers consume staggering amounts of water and energy while gobbling up land in majority-minority communitiesThe xAI/Memphis nightmare, where hundreds of diesel generators are spewing air pollution in a historically Black neighborhoodWhy the AI revolution is an environmental justice crisis, with hyperscale facilities are targeting the same communities that have always been sacrificed for industrial developmentWhat the Charlotte moratorium actually accomplished, and why 150 days is just a startPractical strategy for communities facing a data center proposal: where to organize, who to call, and how to bring data-driven expertise to your fightKibri also shares how her company helps community groups arm themselves with the technical knowledge they need to stand up to billion-dollar tech companies, and why strength in numbers is the most powerful tool we've got.If you've ever wondered what's really powering the AI boom, and whether your community could be next on the list, this episode is essential listening.Follow Kibri Everett:Key Environmental Consulting LinkedInHBCU Environmental Justice Technical CollaborativeResources: Charlotte, NC approves data center moratorium - The Charlotte Observer "Stop Dirty Data Centers" Campaign - NAACP$64 billion of data center projects have been blocked or delayed amid local opposition - Data Center WatchBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support.Don't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

In October 1997, a vault supervisor named David Ghantt loaded $17 million into a van and drove out of a Loomis Fargo warehouse in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was the second-largest cash heist in American history. It took him about an hour, working alone. He stole two of the facility's three security tapes. The third one kept rolling.What followed was five months of botched getaways, wild spending sprees, an FBI wiretap, and a murder plot hatched at a Halloween party. Reporter Jeff Diamant, who covered the case for the Charlotte Observer and interviewed nearly every co-conspirator, tells the story of the crime that came to be known as the Hillbilly Heist — and how a crew that studied Goodfellas managed to ignore every lesson in it.Subscribe to our newsletter: ⁠https://jedlipinski.substack.com/⁠ Connect with Jed Lipinski:⁠https://www.instagram.com/gonesouthpodcast/⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/gonesouthpodcast/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jed-lipinski/

McCrory, a Republican, served in office from 2013 to 2017 when Republicans had a powerful hold over state government. He presided over the controversial HB2, became the first governor to lose reelection in state history, then lost in the 2022 U.S. Senate primary. Dunn looks at McCrory's legacy and the controversy that continues to define him today.

All three hosts are officially back in the studio! This week, Jason Allen King joins Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams to break down viral moments, local comedy scene drama, and the deepest theological questions the internet has to offer. The guys kick off the episode trying to hold Jonathan to his promise of taking his shoes off on camera for a very specific listener. From there, they dive into a recent article published by The Charlotte Observer highlighting five prominent figures in the local Charlotte comedy scene. The guys discuss the inevitable fallout, addressing the "indie scene" comics who felt underrepresented, why tracking down a journalist on Facebook to gripe is a terrible career move, and why any press is a rising tide that lifts all local boats. Later, they talk about a massive milestone for the pod: a genuinely viral moment! Jonathan breaks down the science behind a quick video he posted during the US World Cup match featuring Fight Club stars Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in the crowd. With over 6.3 million views and counting, the guys look behind the curtain at what it's like to navigate a viral comment section (and why half the people think it's an anti-LGBTQ post). This naturally leads to Jonathan sharing a hilarious, real-life story about the short-lived, parking-lot "Fight Club" he started as a high school sophomore. Finally, Jordan derails the comedy chatter with a massive theological curveball: Did people born before Christ automatically go to hell? The guys discuss religious constructs, Dante's Inferno, and a hilarious 60-second freestyle from Jason on which of the seven deadly sins he would hide from his friends to keep them out of purgatory (hint: it's gluttony).

When the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation opened an investigation and Blanche was charged with the attempted murder, the arrest came as a shock to those who knew her. How was it possible that someone they all knew as “a sweet, Christian lady”—was an attempted murderer? And if she had been cunning enough to hide that side of herself from her community, what else had she been hiding?  References Associated Press. 1989. "Arsenic victim feels 'sorrow' for his wife."
