Texas Republicans have a data center problem
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas Republicans are facing internal conflict over the rapid expansion of data centers, particularly with the $500 billion Stargate project by OpenAI. Rena Schroeder, a long-time GOP supporter, recently became disillusioned after discovering a data center planned near her property. At a GOP meeting, her proposal to ban data centers was met with hostility, leading her to leave the party. As 82 data centers are proposed in districts that voted for Trump, many constituents express concerns over their impact on rural communities. Lawmakers are divided on how to regulate these developments, with some calling for more local authority while others prefer state-level guidelines.
