Jonathan Brill was featured as a guest on NEWSMAX TV’s Wake Up America Weekend on August 2, 2026 as part of a discussion on the growing political backlash to data center development, the rising cost concerns for local communities, and what the AI boom means for America’s economic future.
Jonathan argues that data centers are not just a technology story — they are an energy, infrastructure, and community-impact issue.
