The Quarterly Report with Rob Boland & Craig Hafer
Season 1
The Data Center Economy
by Craig Hafer
Data centers are reshaping America's landscape, power grids, and small-town politics. In this episode, Craig and Rob dig into the economics behind the AI infrastructure boom, what data centers actually are, why communities are fighting to keep them out, and how today's boom compares to those of the past, and what we can learn from it.
Over the past year, President Trump's economic agenda has been "predictably unpredictable". Craig and Rob dive headfirst into the president's policies and try to make sense of it all in this lively episode.
