Published | Video Starts at 20:33

Just the two big data centers in the state right now, Microsoft and the Port Washington Data Center. If we wanted to fund them 100% on renewable. Fund them, run them. Excuse me, I know We did the rough math... it would not be enough to cover every acre of every state park in this state. Solar, just for those two data centers. And I'm guessing that's not going to be the only two. Over half. Like at a minimum, we need at least 128,000 acres. I think we've got 150,000 acres of state parks in this state. (20:33–20:58)

CLAIM

Asserts that powering two data centers with solar would require more land than all state parks in Wisconsin.
