#Texas Gov. #GregAbbott on #AIDataCenter Backlash: 'They Dug Their Own Grave'
Jennifer Oliver O'Connell, August 23, 2026
"#NewYork Gov. #KathyHochul (D) and #Kentucky Gov. #AndyBeshear (D) have pushed back against the expansion of #AIDataCenters in their respective states. But with the increasing backlash from communities and individuals toward new #datacenter construction and expansion, even governors that have embraced the #AIRevolution, like #Pennsylvania's #JoshShapiro (D), are now moderating and talking about scaling back.
"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is one governor whose state has embraced the data center expansion. In November 2025, Abbott declared that Texas is the 'epicenter of AI development' in his announcement of #Google building three data center campuses to the tune of $40 million dollars.
"Fast forward to August of 2026, and Abbott acknowledges that much of the community resistance to the construction of new and existing data centers is the fault of the AI companies."
[...]
"Abbott is not wrong. According to a report from #DataCenterWatch, 64 billion in data center projects have been blocked or delayed in #Arizona, #Utah, #Missouri, #Oregon, and #California, to name a few. Even formerly friendly #Virginia is pushing back. #CommunityOpposition surrounds the lack of information provided and the lack of accountability taken towards the citizens who will be most affected.
"Water and power concerns loom large. Many of the newer development concepts, like entrepreneur #KevinOLeary 's 9 megawatt #StratosProject in #Utah, will have their own self-sustaining water and power systems. However, this did not prevent the backlash by #environmentalists and local activists to shut the Stratos Project down, and Utah state lawmakers ultimately backpedaled from their original approval and requested O'Leary cut the project's 400,000-acre footprint down to 10,000, about 75 percent.

Last night when I couldn't sleep because of the heat I looked at ALL Democratic Governors and US Senators (not just battleground states.) I was looking for someone that would cement a turning of the page. Other than #buttigieg my top choice was #AndyBeshear of #Kentucky. I tried to think who she would trust, be sympatico and would have a chance at reaching rural and conservative voters across America. Someone who could stand on the stage & not look like another old white guy. I was surprised at how old the democratic senators are especially the women. #SenatorMarkKelly isn't bad but #govandybeshear is better.
I am a elder from liberal #California and he has a #EricSwallwell clean cut vibe. I think he would look and feel better for our girl #kamala2024 I tried to imagine every one standing on the stage with her. And his secret weapon he takes it right to #JDVance. Watch and weigh in.
