Partner Hillary Holmes recently spoke with Legal Business (subscription required) about the massive power needs of the technology industry. She said that a major question is where this energy is going to come from.

“We have clients that have traditionally been in the oil and gas space who are taking advantage of the fact that they have access to a lot of land and regulatory expertise, and the ability to build lots of infrastructure quickly and efficiently, to leverage that towards data [centers],” Hillary observed. “We went through the industrial age, and now we’re in the computer age, and we don’t yet know what we’re going to need for that.”
