Jeff’s Morning Brief: The New ‘Tech Witch Hunt – Why Rochester’s Data Center Ban Echoes NH’s Anti-Nuclear Past

In this segment of Jeff’s Morning Brief, host Jeff Chidester calls out the City of Rochester, NH, for its shortsighted decision to enact a moratorium on new data center developments. Featuring audio captured by WMUR of the Rochester mayor and local citizens speaking against the projects, Jeff likens the city’s reaction to a modern-day “Tech Witch Hunt”—comparing the anti-data center sentiment to the misguided anti-nuclear movement of the 1970s and ’80s that delayed and crippled the capacity of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant.

Wrapping up the show, Jeff analyzes audio from political experts breaking down the recent primary results, examining how Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates are reshaping the political landscape and impacting upcoming elections across the state.
