Texas governor-elect Gina Hinojosa said the state will stop data center construction until laws protecting Texans exist. In an interview with CNN she said the facilities have moved mostly into rural communities without rules regulating them. Texas has more than 80 data centers operating, the second most in the country, according to Cleanview, with another 50 under construction and more than 120 planned. Hinojosa said she is not against data centers and that the state remains pro-business.
