TeraWulf is a company with plans to transform the former Milliken Power Plant into a 400-megawatt data center. The proposed data center has drawn mixed reviews from the community, as locals have voiced concerns that the data center will utilize a water-based cooling system, which would detrimentally affect the lake ecosystem. The data center proposed would help process and store information for online platforms and artificial intelligence systems. In December, the Lansing Board withdrew a moratorium that would have stalled the data center project. This lawsuit reflects a general trend as data center projects are being met with opposition across the country.
