Arizona’s data center boom is running into a water crisis

Today, POLITICO Energy host Zack Colman sits down for an extended interview with Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat seeking reelection in November. They discuss if Arizona can pursue its tech ambitions amid a water crisis, and her argument that the state can attract tech investment without more data centers. They also explore the Colorado River crisis, the Trump administration’s impact in the West, keeping utility bills affordable and the growing influence of state attorneys general on energy and climate policy. ----------------------------------------- Subscribe to our channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgjtvMmHXbutALaw9XzRkAg?view_as=subscriber Check out our video catalog: https://www.politico.com/video Follow POLITICO here: ➤ X: https://x.com/politico/ ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/politico/ ➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/politico/
