Chevron and Microsoft bet big on data centers

Chevron and Microsoft are making significant investments in data centers to expand their digital infrastructure. Simultaneously, the city of Homewood in Alabama has become the latest municipality to implement a pause on applications for new or expanding data center projects. This decision halts the approval process for facilities seeking to establish or grow their presence within the city, contrasting with the aggressive expansion strategies currently being pursued by major corporations like Microsoft and Chevron.
