<p>Episode 93 of What a Week! features Bailey Simrell, a NEPA technologist living on the bleeding edge of innovation, for a deep dive into AI, data centers, and their massive impact on Pennsylvania. Bailey breaks down his origin story—from growing up in a marketing agency to building apps in real estate, construction, government, and finance—before unpacking data centers: their massive power needs (one equals 100,000 homes!), cooling systems, and why they&#39;re exploding in rural PA. We explore AI&#39;s role in amplifying demands, economic incentives driving corporate expansion, environmental risks to farmland, and alternatives like nuclear power or distributed computing. With Scranton&#39;s future on the line, this is a wake-up call on tech&#39;s double-edged sword—subscribe, share, and let&#39;s talk solutions! #WhatAWeek #AIDataCenters #TechInPA #ScrantonProud</p>
