Texans Challenge Rapid Data Center Expansion
Across Texas, residents and local officials are mobilizing to oppose a surge of proposed data centers, including a largest-in-U.S. project approved this month in Pecos County and a reported $500 billion development near Abilene as well as a planned 5,800‑acre energy campus in the Panhandle. They cite concerns about water and electricity demand; in 2025 the Legislature passed Senate Bill 6 granting ERCOT oversight, and party leaders in February called for independent project assessments.
