Episode Details

A controversial new data center project, Comanche Circle, is sparking fierce debate near Dinosaur Valley State Park as Governor Abbott backs it with promises of water conservation and grid stability. Developers tout private funding, on-site power, and closed-loop cooling, but critics like Protect the Paluxy argue it’s a rushed, poorly planned move—highlighting missing water sources and NRG’s withdrawal from the power deal. With the Paluxy River at risk and tourism tied to the park, locals demand a moratorium until real regulations are in place, framing Abbott’s directive as political cover for flawed projects. This clash embodies the growing tension between tech expansion and environmental preservation in rural Texas.
