Live stream had some audio issues. This Zoom Recroding from Data Center Discussion at UC 3-21-26 includes the video of the slide presentation and audio from the panelists and Q&A. On March 21st, 2026, the University of Cincinnati’s School of Environment and Sustainability senior students, in conjunction with grassroots advocacy leaders across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana will host an interdisciplinary discussion of the impacts of data centers on local communities. Organizers in communities across the country have been investigating and challenging development deals negotiated behind closed doors with local officials. These agreements are often subsidized with taxpayer dollars, while lacking public transparency. Such projects have raised serious environmental concerns, including poorly regulated noise, excessive water consumption, wastewater contaminants, and air pollution. Residents are also grappling with rising electricity costs tied to large-scale energy demand, while at the same time concerned for the public health implications of “bring your own” behind-the-meter energy solutions. Panelists in order of appearance: US House Representative Greg Landsman (OH-D) Casey Putsch - Republican Candidate for Governor Ben Murray - Economist and Senior Researcher for Food and Water Watch Prescott Balch - Retired Technology Executive Spencer Dirrig - Vice President of Government Affairs, Ohio Environmental Council Nathan Alley - Conservation Program Coordinator, Sierra Club Molly Bryden - Climate & Sustainable Researcher, Policy Matters Ohio Paul Lambert - Former Hilliard School Board member, Advocate for Responsible Development Jordan Haire - Democratic Candidate for the 47th District, Ohio Statehouse
