Pause on data center development in Texas puts Abbott at odds with President Trump
In an interview with Puck News in DC, Mr. Trump called Abbott's newfound opposition to data centers "a mistake"
Taylor
Goldenstein writes
in the Texas Tribune this afternoon:
President
Donald Trump this week criticized Texas for being anti-data centers, just days
after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott paused industry-wide approvals until the
companies provide the state with more information on things like power and
water use.
“I saw
Texas the other day sort of is against data centers,” Trump said in a nearly
hourlong sit-down interview with Punchbowl News released Friday. “I think it’s
a mistake. And I’m not taking positions, I just think it’s a mistake, because
there are other communities that want it. When a community wants it, it means a
lot of money is going to come into that community.”
Abbott’s
spokesperson in a statement Friday defended the policy move as necessary
because less than 10% of data centers responded to the state’s requests for
them to report their power and water usage.
