House page, Arnav Goswami, wants to understand how legislators are dealing with the impacts of data centers on the environment and the economy. Senator Shewmake (D), Chair of the Senate Environment, Energy, and Technology Committee and Representative John Ley (R), of the House Environment and Energy Committee share their ideas about how Washington can capitalize on the benefits of data centers while also dealing with the challenges of energy consumption.
On The Issues is produced by Teach with TVW, the education wing of TVW, Washington’s Public Affairs network, in partnership with the Legislative Page Program. Each week throughout the Legislative Session Legislative Pages research issues the legislators are working on and prepare questions to be brought to legislative leadership.
Teach with TVW is TVW’s civic education department, dedicated to helping people of all ages across Washington State understand how government works and participate effectively in the legislative process.
