   I’m Bill Zortman and WELECOME to OUR FAMILY FRIENDLY FRIDAY FACT FOLLOWING---STORY LINES Certainly prepared by those who live right here---or really care about the area…..

 

   Let’s start with JODI SCHWAN---lets see—Founder, Align Content Studio—Publisher, Sioux Falls Business and Pigeon 605.com

 

   Jodi good morning---you always have the information we really need to have---like—what’s next for the Proposed Sioux Falls Data Center---

 

   And you had a nice set up line to continue---“Lots of downtown news this week, New restaurants open at Cherapa, Harvest building nearly full and Landscape Garden Centers EXPANDS Downtown----

 

 Technology Companies are eyeing South Dakota for large data centers tied to artificial intelligence, and state regulators are already warning those facilities can consume enormous amounts of electricity, KELO-AM reported in November. South Dakota Public Utilities Commission Chair Chris Nelson told KELO-AM that companies looking here share concerns about how their demand could affect electric rates for everyone else, and that data center proposals have been discussed in Minnehaha, Deuel, and McPherson counties.

This isn’t a distant, coastal problem. It’s an electricity problem, and in South Dakota, electricity is personal.

 

   Do you agree with that assertion?

   What else would you like to share this morning—and do you think we will see in the last week of January?
