Texas voters turn against data centers

Original: Voters in Texas agree: They hate data centers

Voters in Texas are expressing widespread opposition to data centers, making the facilities a notable issue in midterm elections. The large server complexes, often built for AI companies, are drawing anger over their heavy consumption of electricity and water, and their impact on local communities. Candidates are now facing pressure from constituents who want limits on new data center construction across the state.

Why now: Data centers' energy and water use has become a live election issue in Texas, with voters pushing back on new developments.
