VIDEO: Texas Gov. Abbott calls for regulations on data centers, contrasting previous stance FOX 4 NEWS ... AUSTIN, Texas - Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday called for sweeping regulations on data centers to be passed by the legislature in the 2027 session. It's a change in stance for Abbott, who previously worked to make Texas the epicenter of the data center buildout. In a letter to the Public Utilities Commission of Texas and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Abbot laid out his ideas to hold data centers accountable and ensure the costs of their growth are not passed on to taxpayers. Abbott called for new centers to add power generation to the state's power grid while paying for their own infrastructure costs and connection to the grid. The letter also calls for the mandated use of closed-loop water systems and annual reporting on electricity and water use by data centers. The governor is also calling on lawmakers to repeal sales tax exemptions and "other outdated or unnecessary incentives" for data centers. Data centers would also be required to consider the communities by reducing their impact through measures such as reducing noise. "As Texas continues to welcome innovation and investment, we must ensure that growth strengthens our people and their quality of life without placing undue burdens on Texans and local communities," Abbott wrote in the letter. In the letter, Abbott directed PUC and ERCOT to submit a joint memorandum by July 17 outlining actions they've taken to prevent risks and added costs to taxpayers because of data center development. At least one lawmaker applauded the move as state Rep. Helen Kerwin praised Abbott for "protecting Texas ratepayers." "As these projects are proposed across Texas, we must PROTECT our water resources, rural communities, and state parks while bringing greater transparency and accountability to the process," Kerwin said on X. Kerwin has come out against the explosive expansion of data centers in the past, calling for full impact studies before development. "Economic development matters. Innovation matters. Jobs matter. But our water and our power are not negotiable," she said in February. Cal Jillson, a political scientist, tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey that Abbott's recent comments are at odds with his past stance on data centers. "The Governor has worked very hard to make Texas the epicenter of the data center buildout," Jillson said. ERCOT delivered a warning in April that Texas power demand could quadruple by 2032, mostly driven by data centers, population increases and oil production. Jillson also believes Abbott, who is seeking re-election this November, sees the potential for political backlash for other Republican campaigns. "He is sitting on $130 million, he’s gonna win easily but he knows that there are some races down ticket. Maybe even the U.S. Senate race, certainly the Texas Railroad Commissioner race, which have weaker Republicans that he needs to worry about," Jillson continued. "He’s got to try to be sure that Republicans hold the Texas House and Senate by large margins. So that’s what he’s trying to do, just position the Republican Party more than himself so they’re not taking blame for the data center buildout." The move comes as communities and local leaders push back against the rapid expansion of data centers in the state. Last month, Hill County officials placed a moratorium on new data centers in their county. The move was met with a lawsuit from developers. Officials rescinded the moratorium last week in response to the pressure from the lawsuit and issued a checklist for new large-scale development in the county. The Angelina County Commissioners Court advised residents to contact state lawmakers during Tuesday night's meeting after hearing public comments about a proposed data center located outside the Lufkin city limits. "We have no authority to do a moratorium or to stop any type of development in the county," Angelina County Judge Keith Wright said. "The Texas legislators have consciously limited what we can do, and they've done it on purpose."

Gov. Greg Abbott announces a statewide crackdown on birth tourism, saying Texas will investigate, prosecute, and shut down operations tied to the practice: “I issued an executive order today ordering all state agencies to crack down on any allegation of birth tourism, which is where people come from other countries into our country for the purpose of having a child born here so that child receives United States citizenship. What I ordered is for every state agency to investigate those claims and, where they are found, make sure those operations are shut down. We can even impose what I call the death penalty on a business, which is revoking its certification or license to do business in the state. In addition to that, we are working with the United States Department of Justice. The Department of Justice has ordered U.S. attorneys to be aggressive in prosecuting these cases. We will work with our very aggressive U.S. attorneys in Texas to make sure that any claim or allegation of birth tourism in Texas is fully prosecuted and completely eliminated from the state.”

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, this morning, completely went off on Texas Governor Greg Abbott. He said, “There are mental health problems in Belgium. There are mental health problems in Britain. You don’t think there are mental health problems in London? There aren’t shootings in London like there are in Texas, like there are every day, every other day. This guy (Greg Abbott) talks about illegal immigrants getting shot… You talk to people who want this slaughter to continue, who want AR-15s on the street for everybody… How was the guy who was deported 4 times, how did he get an AR-15?“ “Abbott would do anything but talk about the issue that is in front of him — the murders in Texas since 2014 by guns has skyrocketed, and all he can do is say he wants more guns in the state of Texas. This is sick! It’s a sickness!” What are your thoughts? Do you agree with Joe?

We need the data centers. We have to win the AI race. My guest for episode 5 of Counterweight is Manhattan Institute's Judge Glock. This spring he wrote about Loudoun County, VA in City Journal. Loudoun, one of the richest counties in America, with a median household income of around $170,000, has become the unlikely center of a new data center-based industrial revolution. And it's not just Loudoun. Data center construction is up about twenty times nationwide in three years, leading to an enormous political backlash. New York State imposed a moratorium on data center construction, and even Republican Greg Abbott of Texas has put a temporary pause in place. Meanwhile, speaking for myself, I’ve seen a ton of fear-mongering about them, with very little in the way of clear explanation of what the costs and benefits are and what they mean for the localities that might bring them in. I've brought Judge on to walk through in granular detail how data centers work, how Loudoun County became ground zero for the data center boom, and the recent pushback against data centers. We also talk about the unfortunate habit that AI CEOs have of seeming like the gloomiest people in the world in relation to the products they are trying to sell.

Today I sat down with John McQueeney, State Representative for House District 97 in Tarrant County, Texas and member of the State Affairs Committee covering power grid and electric policy. In the last six weeks alone, John's committee has run three interim data center hearings. He is also drafting the Data Center Responsibility Act for the January 2027 session - the bill that will set the framework for how Texas handles the data center build-out for a generation. Texas has 440 gigawatts of applications in the queue against roughly 110 gigawatts of current peak capacity. Someone has to sort out what's real, what's speculative, and who pays for the grid when it all comes online. John is one of the people doing that work. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

🚨BREAKING TEXAS🚨 Texas Public School District to Host CAIR-Sponsored "Islamic Games" at Taxpayer-Funded High School! The Grapevine-Colleyville ISD (GCISD) – a public school district – is renting out Colleyville Heritage High School (a taxpayer-funded facility) to host the 2026 Islamic Games on May 9-10. As Tony Ortiz from Tony Ortiz (Current Revolt) discovered, this event proudly features CAIR New Jersey as a highlighted sponsor among over 110 others (many with Muslim Brotherhood-linked ties), per their own promo materials and sponsor collage. 🚨 CAIR – the SAME organization Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated on November 18, 2025, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Transnational Criminal Organization – citing its alleged Hamas front-group origins, terrorism-financing links (Holy Land Foundation), and Muslim Brotherhood connections. Abbott's proclamation bans land deals and ramps up enforcement. Yet a public school in a red-state Texas district is platforming an event tied to this state-labeled terror org? Using public school grounds for the "Islamic Games" sports like soccer, basketball, flag football, archery, and more – all while CAIR gets prominent billing? Are Christians also included!? Sources close to the GCISD school board confirm trustees had ZERO knowledge of this booking. Parents, taxpayers, and residents: Your hard-earned dollars are funding facilities for an event linked to a group Texas officially calls a terror threat! This isn't "diversity" or "inclusion" in our public schools – it's a blatant security lapse and infiltration. Demand GCISD cancel immediately, investigate the rental process, and explain why a public school district is cozying up to CAIR post-designation Please Request That Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Attorney General Ken Paxton investigate this matter.

🚨 NOW: Gov. Greg Abbott tells the Democrats THEY'RE NOT winning Texas, their leftist Senate candidate James Talarico is COOKED "Texas has the longest winning streak of any state in America. Republicans statewide in Texas have gone undefeated for more than 30 YEARS." "And I can tell you right now, Republicans are going to win every statewide seat this November, and especially in that race against Talarico, for a very simple reason." "What Talarico, as well as the other Democrats on the ballot this cycle, are standing for are the crazy leftist policies that you see coming out of places like Mamdani in New York and the crazy leftist progressive policies in California." "Some easy examples of votes that have already been made about Talarico that you will hear a whole lot about as we get close to the election. Talarico is for boys in girls sports." "Talarico is for defunding the police. He's for the Joe Biden open border policies. And get this, this is really going to rile up Texas voters." "Talarico is in favor of a state income tax. That's outrageous!"

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump has just announced an agreement with tech companies REQUIRING THEM to fully cover the cost of increased electricity production required for their data centers This has been a HUGE worry of Americans worried about their electric bills spiking as more and more data centers are built, so Trump stepped in. Trump says the new electricity generated from plants built by big tech firms will actually DRIVE DOWN energy prices for consumers, as excess power will go back into the grid. "This is an HISTORIC win for countless American families and will also make our electricity grids stronger and more resilient than ever before." "They will be getting a lot of excess electricity for the data centers where they build their own plants." "It's actually going to mean the prices come DOWN."

DON'T BAN 'EM; MAKE 'EM PAY! Jane Flegal served as Senior Director for Industrial Emissions in the Biden White House. At Searchlight, she's spearheading novel policy ideas that can turn America's data center buildout into massive public benefits for working families. There are already more than 4,000 data centers across the country. Instead of a moratorium on these facilities, Jane proposes an American Grid Infrastructure Fund — a new system which would ensure: 1. Families only pay for the electricity they use, and never pay more because of data centers 2. Data centers invest in the grid by funding massive, generational upgrades to the electricity system we all use — ending decades of neglect 3. Regulators can hold companies accountable to every single commitment they make In addition to the Fund, she has also proposed that states use tax incentives to 'make data centers better grid citizens:' take-or-pay load commitments, full cost causation, and more. Jane and Danielle Deiseroth sit down to discuss. 0:00 - State tax abatement 7:12 - A federal moratorium vs. modernizing the grid 11:50 - Permitting reform ... and then what? 17:02 - Why this moment needs bigger ideas 25:10 - Revisiting the Inflation Reduction Act 30:10 - Climate hushing; 'don't say climate'

One of the biggest Driving Forces in the Future for Jobs, are Data Centers. They are big, strong, bold, and Money Machines for the State in which they are built. Governor Kathy Hochul, for political reasons, has terminated all Data Centers being built, or to be built, in New York State. These Companies are now being sought in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and many other States. Both the Taxes and the Jobs amount to LIQUID GOLD! New York State has made a terrible decision. All of this Income, and other Benefits, will be going to Red States, and some Blue, where Data Centers are sought as Cash Cows, with Lower Taxes and Record Setting Jobs. They must pay for their own Water and Power, and any leftover goes back to the State and local Community. Data Centers are tremendous WINS for the States and Communities that are lucky enough to get them. New York should change its Policy, IMMEDIATELY. The Radical Left Dumocrats must not be allowed to cause us to lose Data Centers, AI, and all of this incredible new Technology, to China, and other countries! President DONALD J.

These Companies are now being sought in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and many other States. Both the Taxes and the Jobs amount to LIQUID GOLD! New York State has made a terrible decision. All of this Income, and other Benefits, will be going to Red States, and some Blue, where Data Centers are sought as Cash Cows, with Lower Taxes and Record Setting Jobs. They must pay for their own Water and Power, and any leftover goes back to the State and local Community. Data Centers are tremendous WINS for the States and Communities that are lucky enough to get them. New York should change its Policy, IMMEDIATELY. The Radical Left Dumocrats must not be allowed to cause us to lose Data Centers, AI, and all of this incredible new Technology, to China, and other countries! President DONALD J. TRUMP ( TS: Jul 15 2026, 12:39 PM ET )‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‍

An entire new city was proposed and planned to be built in California A proposed $3.2 billion shipyard was meant to be the cornerstone of the city But the company decided they didn’t want to spent years saying for permits and environmental studies. They chose Texas instead California Democrats are a cancer to any new developments. They make it impossible “California has watched companies like Tesla and Chevron move their headquarters to Texas, and now a potential major investment, a proposed shipyard, is also heading there. Tonight, supporters of California Forever are calling it another major blow for the entire state's workforce — California's lost out to Texas was a real gut punch — one of the project's biggest economic promises headed elsewhere. Defense tech company Saronic announced it will build its next-gen shipyard in Brownsville, Texas, picking the area over the proposed California Forever site, taking with it a $3.2 billion investment” “Another factor was California's permitting process. We know from the news today that Saronic Technologies pointed toward Texas as a state that was able to cut through red tape. Red tape that includes lengthy environmental reviews and years of permitting before major projects can move forward” This is the classic way California Democrats block projects, never ending environmental studies and permitting

In the next 15 years, data centers are expected to add an additional $160 billion to grid costs in the US Estimate say electricity rates for average households will spike by as much as 70% Data centers are projected to triple their share of US electricity demand in the next few years The main driver is the explosive growth of data centers built by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and more to power artificial intelligence Places like Northern Virginia already has over 200 data centers with massive new ones planned. Utilities are striking secret proprietary deals with Big Tech companies. These are hidden behind NDAs that shift much of the infrastructure costs onto regular residential customers Just in the PJM energy market of 13 states covering 65 million people, data centers were responsible for 63% of last year’s record 800% spike in capacity prices (This is INSANE) Residential customers in places like Virginia and Louisiana are being forced to subsidize billions in new power plants and grid upgrades for data centers. An Examples of this is in Louisiana, Meta’s data center deal leaves the public potentially on the hook for half or more of a $3–4 billion power plant Again, without major policy changes, average household electricity bills could rise by up to 70% over the next 15 years due to data center demand. There is only one real way we can stop this, we must create a separate customer class for data centers Maryland and Oregon have already passed laws doing this Forces data centers to pay for the specific infrastructure they need instead of spreading the costs to everyone else. More states need to do the same Ban secret sweetheart deals Require full public disclosure of all contracts between utilities and Big Tech Prohibit deals where data centers pay below the actual cost of service Make data centers pay the full cost of new power plants and grid upgrades Change regulations so utilities cannot socialize the cost of data-center-driven infrastructure to residential and small business ratepayers This needs to be done immediately

Allen High School in Allen, Texas, operates a large cafeteria with a food-court-style layout featuring multiple serving stations. It includes true franchises of Subway and Pizza Hut (purchased in 1999), where school staff are trained by the chains and the outlets follow their standards with adjustments for school nutrition guidelines. Other stations offer in-house concepts such as Caliente Cactus (Mexican), grill/burger options, and additional entrees—typically totaling around 8–12 lines. Lunch is served in multiple 30-minute periods to accommodate the student body. The school is one of the largest public high schools in Texas. Its enrollment was reported as 6,947–6,798 in recent UIL realignment data (used for athletics classification), while official campus counts for 2024–2026 school years list approximately 5,200–5,273 students. Allen ISD’s strong local property tax base in a growing suburban area supports expanded facilities, including a prominent football program and performing arts. The cafeteria serves thousands of meals daily and provides free/reduced-price options. Can you imagine?

🚨YES! ALL EYES ON TEXAS! Texas Patriots Are Rising Up to Protect Our Children from the Communist and Islamic Threat! George Brian Vachris stood strong today at the Texas State Board of Education meeting and delivered a powerful testimony against the Red-Green alliance’s assault on our kids’ education. A licensed Professional Engineer, former certified teacher in Houston ISD, Republican precinct chairman, and 2026 GOP nominee candidate for SBOE District 8, Vachris applauded the strong proposed literary list but demanded key protections: “Neither atheism nor secular humanism is the national religion… References to the Bible and our traditional culture belong in our schools. We face a hostile ideology - Marxism and communism - that has joined forces with radical Islam to destroy the constitutional order of the United States.” He urged the board to retain 1984 for high school seniors as a direct defense against the very propaganda the Texas AFT/DSA, CAIR, Emgage, and Islamic centers are trying to force into Texas classrooms. These Texas heroes are showing up in Austin right now to fight for pro-America, pro-West, fact-based education -not communist lies or Islamic indoctrination. Stand with them. Protect our children’s minds. Share this. Flood the SBOE with support. Follow our action steps here - Let's Go Texas!

Right now, as we speak, a group of Texas Uniparty Republican and Democrat Legislators are secretly creating a coalition to overthrow millions of voters and pick a House Speaker that will be controlled by the Democrats. They want to impeach Ken Paxton AGAIN, make life harder for President Trump's policies in Texas, and prevent crucial legislation from passing, such as school choice. Republicans hold 88 of the 150 seats in the Texas House, and a simple majority is necessary to become Speaker. 57 Republican legislators picked David Cook, a solid conservative endorsed by Paxton, Abbott, etc, as the Speaker nominee. Meanwhile, a traitor named Dusty Burrows convinced 31 RINOs to join his cause. Burrows is now working on a deal with the Democrats to get all their votes in exchange for power and control of the House. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick released a statement: "I do not support any Republican who is elected Speaker by a few Republicans and a majority of Democrats. This has happened too much over the last 15 years and has killed conservative legislation time and time again. The result is that the conservative legislation that a majority of Texas voters support passes the Senate but is killed in the House." If these crooks succeed, Texas will be screwed big time. If you are in Texas, call your Republicans and remind them that they work for YOU at the end of the day.
