Eight data centers threaten to transform this small Texas county. Local officials say they have no power to stop them.
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Residents of Hood County, Texas, are opposing the development of eight proposed data centers that could cover over 7,600 acres. The Comanche Circle project, part of this initiative, could require up to 3 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power 3 million homes. Local officials have attempted to impose a moratorium on the projects but have faced legal challenges and state law limitations. Community members, including Brian and Laura Crawford, are actively campaigning against the developments, fearing they will disrupt the rural landscape and strain local resources. Despite their efforts, county officials feel powerless to halt the projects.
