Gov. Mike Kehoe said Missouri is at a pivotal moment as it works to attract and power large data centers. Greater St. Louis Inc. CEO, Ron Kitchens, warned that communities without large data centers may not be viable in the future. The warning was made during a summit on Missouri's energy future, hosted by the Public Service Commission. Speakers highlighted the impact of massive data centers on state infrastructure, spiking demand for electricity, increasing state economic growth and increasing local tax revenue.
