Data Center Footprint Policy

As an advisor to city planners and regulators, develop a comprehensive plan to curb pollution from data centers and energy-intensive digital services. Assess technology options (cooling, energy sources, waste heat reuse), regulatory levers (standards, permitting, incentives), and health safeguards for nearby communities. Compare long-term scenarios, including carbon pricing, grid decarbonization, and demand management, and present a clear path to sustainable growth of digital infrastructure.
