Episode Details

Governor Greg Abbott has halted new data center projects from connecting to Texas’ power grid, ordering regulators to audit every one before approval. With over 300 existing centers and nearly 250 more planned, the rapid expansion is straining the grid—and sparking public backlash. Voters largely oppose new centers in their communities, while officials stress Texans’ safety and quality of life must come first. The governor plans to work with lawmakers, but for now, the focus is on preventing grid overload and protecting residential customers from bearing the costs.
