Show Notes
Google plans a massive Nebraska data center, potentially requiring three times Lincolns peak summer power. The project could involve a large private natural gas plant with carbon capture tech, backed by public power districts. The governors bill allows private plants to connect to the grid and sell extra power. Local reactions are mixed, with concerns about land, water, power strain, and impacts on public power. The bill faces legislative debate, with companies like Google and Tenaska yet to comment.
