Texas officials are seeking information on water usage from data centers, which require significant water and energy. However, at a recent legislative hearing, it was revealed that less than a third of the surveyed companies responded. With over 248 proposed data centers, Texas aims to surpass Virginia as the leading market for data centers in the U.S. Concerns have arisen regarding the impact of these facilities on local water resources. Governor Abbott has called for stricter regulations, including the use of efficient water recirculation systems. Lawmakers are frustrated with the low response rate, questioning the reliability of the data for future planning.
