On June 26, 2025, Fermi America announced plans with Texas Tech to convert 5,800 acres near Amarillo into 18 million square feet of data centers, four 1‑GW nuclear reactors, and a dedicated natural‑gas plant. A HARC report and experts say Texas data centers already use about 25 billion gallons annually and could require 29–161 billion gallons by 2030; lack of mandatory water‑use disclosure creates planning gaps and risks to aquifers.
