· KRGV (NBC 5)
Residents in Texas are increasingly frustrated by the lack of transparency surrounding proposed data center projects in their neighborhoods. Individuals like Mason McCallister have taken it upon themselves to investigate these developments, often finding little to no information from local officials. Many community members are concerned about the potential impacts on water, power, and local ecosystems. Despite calls for greater transparency, including from state leaders like Governor Greg Abbott, the industry remains largely secretive. At least 34 counties have requested more information, highlighting the growing tension between local communities and the booming data center industry in Texas.
