Independent public research / Data centers and AI infrastructure

Data centers, AI infrastructure, and community impact—made navigable.

BrooksFlow explains how data centers connect compute to electricity, heat, cooling, water, networks, projects, policy, jobs, and the communities around them. Important claims stay connected to their original evidence, review date, geography, and limits.
