Episode Details

Texas Democrats are sounding the alarm as data centers flood West Texas, bringing big money and temporary jobs—but at a steep cost to local communities. Skyrocketing rents are forcing families, including single moms, out of their homes, while water and electricity systems strain under the load. While some hail these facilities as economic saviors, candidates like Riley Rodriguez argue they’re hollow progress that prioritizes corporate profits over people. Grassroots movements are pushing back, demanding moratoriums and local control, as state officials begin to acknowledge the human toll. This isn’t just a tech debate—it’s a fight over what kind of future West Texas deserves.
