State Policy Toolkits for Data Center Regulation: Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Climate XChange · Publication date unknown

As data centers rapidly expand across the country, they are driving significant demand for fossil-fired generation and the associated greenhouse gas emissions. State governments are looking for new tools to ensure data center growth doesn't undermine their climate goals. This toolkit draws on Climate XChange's review of over 400 data center bills introduced in 2025 and 2026 legislative sessions.

The Primary Energy Fallacy: Why Electrification Changes Everything, EP. 293

The conversation examines how electrification is reshaping transport, buildings, and industry, why electric technologies are often dramatically more efficient than their fossil-fuel counterparts, and what this means for energy demand, system planning, and decarbonisation strategies. From electric vehicles and heat pumps to industrial process heat and thermal storage, the discussion explores the opportunities and barriers that will determine the pace of electrification over the coming decades.
