Texas welcomed the AI boom. Now Abbott says data centers "dug their own grave"

Texas, once a hotspot for the AI boom and eager to attract data center companies, is now facing a significant shift in sentiment. Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a strong warning to these companies, suggesting they've faced backlash because they didn't gain community support. This change in stance highlights the growing local opposition and the political pressure it's creating, signaling a potential reevaluation of how states engage with the tech industry. It’s a notable moment that underscores the importance of community involvement in major infrastructure projects.
