Data Centers is the only time in my memory that Greg Abbott has even thought about listening to citizen concerns.

And of course, when the citizens selling THC beverages were concerned about the legislature making the product illegal.

Me thinks the Data Center people have been stingy with the checkbook.



I saw a photo of him sitting down in a very concerned about data centers interview and the thing that struck me was that his wheelchair was visible. This represents a change in his style. (if he thinks it's going to make him more sympathetic to the average person I'd cynically say that's probably true, since he's starting from zero...)


Isn't he talking about data centers because he is up to reelection in november?


He declared a surprise moratoriun on new data centers one day not too long ago.

It was such a stark about-face it seemed like a dramatic response to some new polling data his campaign was not expecting.

I would think if he is not re-elected he would immediately drop the moratorium right after the election, than pull out all the stops to accelerate permitting and building as much as possible before his term is up, against the peoples' will who voted in a non-Trumpard of some kind.

OTOH if he is re-elected he would probably do the exact same thing :\
