Data centers in Wisconsin: What big tech means for our water, air, energy and pocketbook

Just three proposed AI data centers in Wisconsin are projected to use more electricity than all 2.3 million homes in the state combined. In fact, the one facility in Mount Pleasant alone will pull as much power as 1 million homes — becoming one of the largest “cities” of energy consumption in the state without a single person living there. Amy Barrilleaux, communications director at Clean Wisconsin, joined the Rick Solem Show on Monday to help break down the massive, under-the-radar impact hyperscale AI data centers could have on Wisconsin’s energy grid, local water supplies and your monthly utility bills. In this episode: The Energy Surge: Why the Public Service Commission (PSC) projects a 40% jump in state energy demand over six years — and why 72% of that increase comes from just three data centers. Your Pocketbook: How multi-billion-dollar utility buildouts for tech giants like Microsoft and Oracle could shift massive financial risks onto everyday Wisconsin ratepayers. Local Moratoriums: Why La Crosse County and municipalities state-wide are putting pauses in place to evaluate land use, grid strain, tax implications, local health impacts and more. Land & Water Impacts: The stark difference between temporary solar farm leases and permanent concrete slabs that erase family farmland forever — plus the off-site water drain from fossil fuel power generation. A Century of Infrastructure in 10 Years: Why rebuilding our entire energy system in a decade for a handful of tech companies requires a statewide pause and a real plan. Take Action: Clean Wisconsin has launched a statewide petition calling for a pause on unchecked AI data center development until proper regulations are in place.

GoodPower's Leah Qusba on Selling Clean Energy as Pocketbook Power

In 2024, 91% of new large-scale renewable projects around the world made electricity for less money than any fossil-fuel option, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. Solar power was 41% cheaper than the lowest-cost fossil fuel, and onshore wind was 53% cheaper. The technology that can lower energy bills, keep the grid stable, and create jobs is now the most affordable way to build power almost anywhere. So, here's the big question our guest faces every day: if clean energy is this good and this affordable, why is it still so tough to get people to support it? Leah Qusba leads GoodPower, a nonprofit focused on strategic communications and research.For almost twenty years, it was known as Action for the Climate Emergency, but it changed its name during Climate Week 2025. Since Leah took over, the group has grown about ten times bigger, built a network of over 8,500 content creators who share facts about renewables, and started running live messaging tests through its Good Data Lab. The new name highlights that renewable power is good power, and the best way to win support is by showing how it affects people's monthly bills. The decision to rebrand was based on data. Leah's team learned that words like “climate” and “emergency” can shut down conversations in rural, conservative areas where most new wind and solar projects are built. GoodPower shifted its message to focus on jobs, community investment, and steady power bills.GoodPower also works to fight anti-renewables disinformation, which Leah says spreads fastest in the first day or two after a grid emergency. When Winter Storm Fern knocked out power in more than 20 states in January, the organization had a few days' notice and quickly got its creator network ready to “prebunk” the usual claim that renewables caused the blackouts. This strategy, based on the Debunking Handbook, starts with the truth, points out the false claim, and then repeats the truth to make it stick.GoodPower uses the same idea in its AI tools: CleanCast predicts where local fights over new projects might start so communities can get accurate information early, and TrueVoice spots AI-generated comments in public records. Still, Leah says the best messengers are neighbors, since people trust those who share their experiences. For instance, when Boulder City, Nevada's Republican mayor, Joe Hardy, talks about how solar and storage helped his town's budget, it connects with other conservative communities in a way ads can't.GoodPower's network of creators shares clean-energy messages through car-repair, food, and gaming videos. Leah calls this the raisin bread theory: the regular content is the bread, and the renewables message is the raisin. For communities already dealing with climate impacts, she highlights groups like Extreme Weather Survivors, which gives wildfire and flood survivors a way to push for policy changes from the ground up.To learn more, visit goodpower.org and follow Leah Qusba on LinkedIn, where she is active and easy to reach.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunesFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube

Can David start to piece together a life while still wanted as an accomplice for the Appin Murder? Robert Louis Stevenson, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.   Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast, where an audiobook approach delivers an immersive experience in classic literature. I'm your host BJ Harrison.  I'm glad you could join us.   With the audiobook library card, you gain access to the entire Classic Tales Library that I've been working on for 19 years. Hundreds of titles, and thousands of hours of classic audiobooks in tons of genres. These are the same titles found on Audible, Spotify, Barnes and Noble, etc..

No limits.   Stop counting credits, or waiting for Libby, and get your Audiobook Library Card for only $9.99 a month. It's the best deal on the internet. You're going to love it.   Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com and choose the plan that's right for you.   If you know someone who's shy about reading the classics, Robert Louis Stevenson is a great introduction. Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and his wonderful short stories like Markheim, The Body Snatcher, and The Bottle Imp to name a few.  Today we begin an episodic journey through the novel Catriona, published as David Balfour in the US. Though the name looks to be spelled Catriona, apparently it's correctly pronounced as Katrina. So that's what we'll do.   This second volume of David Balfour's story is less a straightforward adventure story, and is more of a novel of manners with some adventure sprinkled in. To me it feels like a natural progression as the youth gets older, has more responsibility, and learns to make his way in the wider world of Scottish traditions.     And now, David Balfour, Part 1 of 9, by Robert Louis Stevenson   Follow this link to get The Audiobook Library Card for a special price of $9.99/month   Follow this link and get Multiple Licenses for The Audiobook Library Card   Follow this link and watch the new video walkthrough using PocketBook.       Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:       Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:

This summer, I thought of something a little different. Robert Louis Stevenson, my gateway drug to the classics, wrote a sequel to Kidnapped that is quite good, but not as well known. I've been wanting to do it for some time, but the time didn't seem right. This summer I think we'll give it a go.   So that you all can refresh yourselves on David Balfour's story, I'm planning a few more robust vintage episodes during the next few weeks, where we'll hear the entire novel of Kidnapped in three episodes.   Now, here's the thing – this is like, one of the first audiobooks I've ever recorded. So while it still gets a fair rating on Audible, you'll hear that I'm still getting my sea legs. Kidnapped has never appeared on The Classic Tales Podcast and has only been available in our retail outlets.   And if you've never heard it before, you're in for a real treat.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan opens with the latest on "deal or no deal" with Iran, as the U.S. and Tehran remain far apart on a peace agreement over Iran's enriched nuclear material and its demand to control the Strait of Hormuz, while the Pentagon prepares for renewed military action if talks fail. He also covers growing signs of U.S. pressure on Cuba, including the arrival of the USS Nimitz strike group in the Caribbean, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's recent trip to Havana, and the DOJ indictment of former Cuban leader Raul Castro. Bryan then turns to a deepening investigation into Neville Roy Singham, the Communist activist living in Shanghai under China's protection, whose money allegedly supports socialist and leftist groups across the United States, including networks tied to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Plus, Bryan breaks down socialist backlash in Seattle and New York as wealthy residents and major companies threaten to leave over tax hikes, the 42-year prison sentence for Feeding Our Future fraud figure Aimee Bock, and a major clash between President Trump and GOP senators over the SAVE Act, the filibuster, and Trump's legislative agenda.

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, FEATURING THADDEUS MCCOTTER, 4-28-2026.(ABRIDGED BY TECH ERRORS.)1930 BOSPHORUSThe current administration faces a dire economic landscape dominated by surging gasoline prices at $4.11 per gallon and oil hitting $111 a barrel. These pressures are exacerbated by escalating threats to global maritime choke points, specifically the Straits of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb, disrupting energy supplies to Asia and Europe while stalling growth in nations like Germany. Pocketbook issues further complicate the political environment, as the rising cost of beef, eggs, and staple goods create a "textbook" list of troubles for the incumbent party. Young people are increasingly forced to rent because high interest rates make purchasing a home prohibitively expensive.Despite holding the majority, Republicans are in a precarious position because immediate remedies, such as resolving the Iranian conflict, remain outside of congressional control. If voters do not feel the palpable benefit of Republicanpolicies, they will turn to the Democratic Party as a practical alternative in November. Democrats may win by positioning themselves as an effective check, mimicking Rahm Emanuel's 2006 strategy of simply not being Republicans. This strategy allows them to gain power without a detailed agenda by focusing instead on stopping the current administration's trajectory. While seeking tariff relief through negotiations with China, much of the inflation is already baked in and unlikely to drop immediately. Because this administration is transactional and far less predictable than traditional regimes, the Republican majority's path forward remains uncertain as the "hour is getting late".

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers fresh intelligence on the war with Iran, explaining why a ceasefire is holding for now, what role China is playing behind the scenes, and how a fragile peace could reshape the Middle East—especially as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah threaten to derail progress. He also breaks down a broader strategic vision emerging from the White House, including efforts to isolate Iran by securing peace between Israel and Lebanon, expanding regional alliances, and potentially redrawing energy routes that could weaken Tehran's long-term leverage. At the same time, Bryan reports rising frustration from President Trump toward European and Asian allies who have largely stayed on the sidelines, raising the possibility of a major shift in U.S. troop deployments abroad. On the domestic front, Bryan highlights encouraging economic signals, including strong job growth, manufacturing gains, and expected relief in gas prices, while also diving into escalating legal and political battles over immigration, birthright citizenship, and federal court authority. He closes with a look at a growing workplace trend: employees quietly sabotaging AI tools as concerns mount over productivity demands and job security in an increasingly automated economy.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran ceasefire update 2026 China role Middle East peace, Israel Lebanon Hezbollah conflict Litani River strategy, Trump foreign policy troop withdrawal Europe Asia, Strait of Hormuz global energy crisis oil prices, US economy jobs report inflation gas prices April 2026, birthright citizenship Supreme Court debate polling, immigration policy federal judges Trump rulings, AI workplace sabotage Gen Z productivity concerns, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

Each week, we'll have a definition from the Devil's Lexicographer himself – Ambrose Bierce. Over the course of 30 years, Bierce nearly weekly wrote a cynical definition of a common word, sometimes consisting of poems, which he sold to various newspapers and periodicals. After 30 years, he collected all of these into one volume which came to be called The Devil's Dictionary. In keeping with the spirit of its creation, we'll hear one of his jocular definitions before we begin today's show.   So, the Word for the Week is Infancy, and here to read it is Ambrose Bierce himself:   INFANCY, n. The period of our lives when, according to Wordsworth, "Heaven lies about us." The world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.   Thank you Mr. Bierce.   And now, Michael Strogoff, Part 8 of 9, by Jules Verne.   Follow this link and watch the new video walkthrough using PocketBook.   Follow this link to get The Audiobook Library Card for a special price of $9.99/month       Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:       Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:
