#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.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell What *good* does a “calls” do!
#AndyBeshear made a “call” asking for #Kentucky Senator #MitchMcConnell to *prove* he was alive. He still has not.
-
@KentNavalesi @kentucky #Kentucky Governor #AndyBeshear does a lot of “calls”, such as this *call* to end tax subsidies for money-burning and resource-sucking #DataCenters. And his *call* for #MitchMcConnell to prove that he’s alive. (He still has not.)
Does the *do* anything else?
Just say ‘No!’ to #nepobabies in #USpol.

In 2020 as Kentucky faced a spike of deadly overdoses, Gov. Andy Beshear set out to help more people access drug treatment by loosening Medicaid spending controls.
But as the costs piled up, so did the warnings that the system was being abused.

#AndyBeshear gov. of Kentucky has 3 days to call a special election for Mitch McConnell’s seat.
He won’t.
He takes AIPAC money.
He decided to commit career suicide for a foreign country.
That’s treason.

Mitch McConnell has done more for a country in the last 43 days than he did in the last 43 years. And now may be the time for him to resign (why can’t these sick, old politicians just bow out and leave?)
Maybe Gov. Andy Beshear will be able to appoint a Democrat replacement 🙏
Kentucky Gov. #AndyBeshear has a message for Sen. #MitchMcConnell: Either the state’s senior senator should explain his long absence from the Senate and give details about his health, or resign.

@oldredsubby.bsky.social The important thing, especially if #AndyBeshear has hopes of higher office (he does), is what is the Governor of #Kentucky going to *do?*

@MusiqueNow Did #Maine Senator #SusanCollins show #Kentucky Governor #AndyBeshear how to be ‘concerned’? 🤔
-
@meidastouch Unless #Kentucky Governor #AndyBeshear speaks to #MitchMcConnell “for 20 minutes” he should go ahead and name a replacement for the remainder of his #Senate term.
-
@thetnholler.bsky.social Is #ScottJennings the Governor of #Kentucky ?
Until #AndyBeshear talks to #MitchMcConnell he should assume he’s dead, and start the process of naming his replacement for the remainder of his #Senate term.

RE: https://zirk.us/@CindyWeinstein/116874944828109750
Considering what #MitchMcConnell did to prevent #BarackObama from putting #MerrickGarland on the #SCOTUS after Antonio Scalia died, it wouldn’t surprise me if the cretin from #Kentucky told his staff to keep his death secret until the #midterms decided his Senate replacement!
Governor #AndyBeshear should name his replacement effective immediately, unless McConnell proves that he is alive.
