Hi John,

What happens when a massive data center moves into your backyard? On Feb. 11, the Port Washington community gathered to find out, and they brought a familiar face along for the conversation!

We just released a new video capturing the entirety of the Great Lakes Neighbors United (GLNU) community forum. The event featured a sharp, spirited, and funny speech from comedian Charlie Berens (check out our viral interview with Charlie here), followed by a deep dive into how large-scale projects like the new OpenAI data center could reshape Wisconsin’s financial and environmental future.

Watch the video here: Data Centers in Port Washington

This isn't just about tech. It’s about our neighbors. You’ll hear powerful stories and insights from local residents, environmental advocates like Milwaukee Riverkeeper, and public health experts on what these massive developments mean for our Great Lakes and our daily lives.

Check out the video and leave a comment to let us know what you think of the discussion.

Thanks for being a conservation voter,
