David Fair: This is 89.1 WEMU, and on this December 31st, we wish you a safe New Year’s Eve tonight and a Happy New Year. I’m David Fair, and welcome to the final installment of Issues of the Environment for 2025. Throughout the year, one of the most discussed environmental issues has been data centers. In 2026, Washtenaw County could become home to a number of them, and concerns continue to arise. In over 30 years of bringing you Issues of the Environment, I have never once had the same guest on two weeks in a row. But today, we gladly break that streak. Last week, we spoke with Beth Gibbons. She is director of the Washtenaw County Resiliency Office, and we took a look back on local environmental progress in 2025. I deliberately left out data centers because it warrants a conversation all its own. That conversation is today. And once again, we welcome Beth Gibbons. Thank you so much for talking to us two weeks in a row! I appreciate it!
Beth Gibbons: David, I appreciate being here! It’s a pleasure to talk with you!…
