Taking Data Centers to Court w/ Martha Dark
Shownotes
Data centers are being approved without proper oversight into their broader impacts, but there are organizations pushing back. Martha Dark joins Paris Marx to discuss her work at Foxglove and how legal challenges against data centers are imposing stronger rules and reframing false narratives from policymakers and Big Tech.
Martha Dark is co-executive director of Foxglove.
