Power-Hungry Data Centers Are Gobbling Up Texas Amid AI Boom
"Texas offers vast tracts of land and a broad supply of cheap energy, but the rapid growth of data centers could significantly deplete both resources." That's why Texas needs Consumer Regulated Electricity (CRE): new, islanded, unregulated utilities. CRE would give the power hungry data centers an alternative to the existing grids. In return, the data centers would get access to faster development of new electricity supplies, more innovation, and thanks to the great state of Texas, access to vast tracts of land for future scalability.
