Don't pop up “in places that nobody ever heard of” until construction starts. Don't try to skip over local governments. Don't ignore state information requests. Those who did “basically dug their own grave.” Local support now sits next to power and water in siting constraints. 61 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 24 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

He added specifics, from his June and August directives to the @puctx and @ERCOT_ISO: 1. They can’t take water communities need. 2. Can't take power the Texas grid needs. 2. They have to lower electricity costs. 3. They can’t disturb neighborhoods or rural residents. 163 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 24 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

“It wasn’t Texas that was moving fast. It was these data centers.” They “didn’t do their job” to get local support. If you want to operate in Texas, he said, you have to first build the approval of those in local communities. That's exactly where we come in. 99 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 24 Aug 2026 · Open on X →
