"Balance of Power" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate, in a pre-recorded interview, says she wants to pause new data center construction while the state examines the industry’s impact on the electric grid, consumer costs, public health and water supplies. Mark Esper, former Defense Secretary and Partner at Red Cell Ventures, says he does not see the benefit of a US attack on Iran and says the economic blockade is working.
