Data centers are sprouting up every where. Do we really need more of them?

In this episode, Jim and Wolf talk about what data centers are, how prevalent they are and what it takes to build them.

We talk about the sizes and energy uses and all sorts of other things related to data centers.

It was a fun episode to research and very eye-opening.
