Data centers and cryptocurrency mining are driving new fossil fuel expansion across the U.S., often with serious, under-recognized public health consequences. In this webinar, researchers from Boston University present findings on health risks tied to fossil fuel infrastructure and data center expansion, and discuss what communities, advocates, and policymakers need to know.
