Welcome to our fourth episode of Extracted, the podcast where we analyze global politics, economics, and state power through a mutualist lens.

In this episode, hosts George Nguyen and Alex Thymmons are joined by wildlife ecologist, Dr. Trudy Ecoffey, to look at the impact of data centers on people and the planet. Dr. Ecoffey is a leader in wildlife restoration and range ecology; she has spent the past three decades working with Indigenous communities in the Great Plains to restore wildlife habitats and increase the bison population.

Through a mutualist critique, George and Alex examine how unchecked state power and tech oligarchies perpetuate exploitation of people and the planet, and why Indigenous voices and knowledge are more vital than ever to help address climate change.

In this episode, we cover:

- How data centers are destroying people’s lives, local communities, and the planet.

- How Indigenous communities are fighting back against unfettered data center construction.

- A mutualist approach to climate change and global solidarity.
