#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.

[cue old Der Stürmer joke for poignancy here]

Why we put this nonsense out into the ether ourselves is beyond me.

"There’s a different question being asked, largely in #Democratic circles, of today’s #Jewish #presidential# candidates: “Is he the ‘right’ kind of Jewish #candidate to be #president?” — a question that is almost entirely centered around a candidate’s position on #Israel and how openly he identifies with his #religious #faith.

A long list of Jewish candidates are considering a presidential campaign or are being touted as credible contenders, ranging from moderates like #Pennsylvania #Gov. #JoshShapiro, #Sen. #ElissaSlotkin (D- #MI) and former #Chicago #Mayor #RahmEmanuel to #progressives like #Illinois Gov. #JBPritzker and those who straddle the ideological divide, like Sen. #JonOssoff (D- #GA)."

Controversial: we should stop running for office in host countries.

Uncontroversial: Jewish president is a fantasy.

"#MichaelMorris is the publisher of the #Atlanta #JewishTimes, and the scathing letter he just wrote #Georgia #Sen. #JonOssoff signals yet another important shift among prominent #Jewish communal figures since #October7.

First, the background to this incident. In the 2024 campaign, the question was whether #Pennsylvania #Gov. #JoshShapiro’s #Jewishness would hold him back from being embraced as a national figure in the #Democratic Party. The answer was yes: A progressive campaign to cast him as a #dualloyalist was so successful that when he was being vetted as a possible vice-presidential nominee for #KamalaHarris, her team asked him whether he worked on #Israel’s behalf.

Many of us, myself included, wondered if #Shapiro would run for president in 2028 and thus test the party’s voters on this question. But it looks as if #Ossoff may be the one..."
