Local Control Versus Big Tech: Rural North Dakota Fights for Its Future
Together they expose how massive projects like the JetX power line, AI-driven data centers, battery storage fields, and solar developments are racing into rural communities with little transparency and huge consequences.
The guests warn that corporate energy developers chase tax breaks, leave landowners with higher property taxes, and threaten fertile ag land and long-term rural livelihoods. They sound alarms about multi-gigawatt data centers that consume unbelievable amounts of electricity—potentially forcing new transmission lines and government emergency orders to keep Big Tech powered. They argue farmers and ranchers deserve a real seat at the table, with zoning protections, honest communication, and respect for private property.
This episode is a must-watch for anyone who cares about sovereignty, energy independence, and keeping rural communities strong.
