Energy Shots | Fracking Flashback and Data Center Demand

August 14, 2026 • 9:30 – 10:00 am EDT

Energy Shots tells energy stories through data, personalities, and politics.

This Friday, Joseph Majkut and Kevin Book discuss the status of AI data center development, emerging moratoria, and parallels to the fracking boom. As rapid data center expansion draws local pushback, what can the fracking experience and data tell us about where energy policymaking is headed?

This event is made possible by general funding to CSIS and the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program.
