Summary
Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is demanding Governor Greg Abbott halt new data center construction, warning it’s siphoning water, hiking electricity costs, and harming nearby communities—arguing Abbott can act now via executive order. She’s spotlighting how water contracts favor data centers, risking cutoffs for residents in drought-stricken areas like Corpus Christi, and pushing for union-built facilities with local input. Residents report noise, water waste, and health issues, often discovering projects only by accident and blocked from inspection by NDAs. While Abbott’s office admits the need to shield Texans from rising costs and recently saw a Cedar Creek Lake project withdrawn over misalignment with his directives, the debate is escalating—balancing economic growth against community and environmental well-being.
