 uns on physical infrastructure. Data centers are the industrial backbone o
 f the &ldquo\;cloud\,&rdquo\; and their rapid growth is raising concrete l

 nd emissions. In this Earth Day 2026 program\, University of Michigan Doct
 oral Candidate Keanu Heydari offers a clear primer on how AI and data cent
 ers are connected\, why this infrastructure is expanding\, and what commun
 ities can ask when new facilities are proposed. The program ends with a co

 anu Heydari is a doctoral candidate in History at the University of Michig
 an\, where he studies modern European history. He recently completed an in
 ternship with the Ecology Center\, researching data centers and the enviro
 nmental footprint of AI for a public-facing publication. His ecology-focus
 ed work examines the material infrastructure behind everyday digital servi
 ces and the local questions communities face when energy-intensive facilit
 ies are proposed nearby. He also does educational consulting focused on eq
 uity-focused teaching and inclusive course design. He is an ordained deaco
