Hey Texas go fuck yourself
Why? They barely create any jobs and are a huge drain on water and electricity.
Guess who’s paying the difference?
They should be taxing them 1 billion each year
So; MURICA – tell me how Medicare and looking after your people is second to this ?
Didn’t I just read another article about Corpus Christi basically pumping ground water like mad and dust-bowling the surrounding area?
All about the money.
Yet we cant afford universal basic income health, child n elderly
I have a data center in my house (3 computers 😏) wonder if I can get the same tax break.
As if they needed it… As if most of the businesses getting billions in tax breaks actually needed it.
I’m sure that’ll help that lovely grid they got down there
“Weakest power grid in the nation pays to make it worse “ might be a better headline
The Texas electric grid can’t even handle demand of its people in extreme weather, but it has room for these resource hogs?
Why do I live in the same country as Texas? What the heck is wrong with me
Kick backs are real.
I got cornered by a drunk guy at an air bnb once who worked at one of these, we were the only ones there who weren’t part of the wedding party so he was just lonely and he went on this ridiculous rant about how much money he makes because his company owns a texas data center that mines bitcoin. I didnt even get to say a single word as he started talking about how it’s okay if crypto mining is bad for the environment because they make so much money. Just kept going back and forth.
Then he looked me dead in the eye and said „most of our income doesn’t even come from crypto you know, we have a deal with the texas government, if we buy more electricity than we need they have to buy it back from us at three times what we paid, it’s in the contract.“
Texas is cooked.
As more people moved to texas more electricity and water will be in demand and adding more data centers this whole thing will be unsustainable! The consumer will pay the consequences.
Texas is run by a crooked governor and their GOP corruptions
Yea I’m sure their failing power grid can handle this
Texas, the please tread on me state.
Bribery at the expense of the people. Data centers add minimal jobs.
Texas summers average 110 heat with a a feel of 120 heat ,state tv issues warning to the consumer not to use too much the air conditioning and lower the electricity consumption.this happened before and still happening now. Adding dozens of data centers will be catastrophic.
Once those electricity bills start almost doubling, i have a feeling Texans are going to be unhappy.
GOP all about wealth protection. Sadly their voters clueless to this threat
Texas greed is disgusting, and it’s my home state. They’re building 3 new data centers around my area that will be using 5-8 million gallons per day of water, at literally the same time we have been experiencing the worst drought in my lifetime and all the water in this area is drying up. Hell, the lake that has been around for my and most of my dad’s entire life will be completely dried up within two years, but fucking Texas is never one to let the possibility of ecological disaster get in the way of making a buck.
These data centers are getting tax breaks while driving up utility costs for everyone who lives within a 100 mile radius of them, but tell me more about how Republicans care about the middle class and small businesses.
Need to influence and rig elections…AI can help.
