REPORT: Microsoft’s Stargate AI data center just drained half a billion gallons of water from drought-stricken Abilene, Texas—while residents are being told to cut back on showers. And this is only the beginning. By 2030, AI data centers are projected to consume 7% of Texas’ entire water supply. As...

Texas American Rancher Says US Government Facilitating Plans For A Planned Food Shortage & Depopulation 🚨 Says Due To State Officials “Harvest Ready Cows Are Being Euthanized, Dumping Out Hundreds Of Thousands Of Gallons Of Milk, Plowing Vegetable Crops From Coast To Coast, Euthanizing Millions Of Chickens, Aborting Sows & Feeder Pigs, Preparing Us To Depopulate” “Hey, everybody. This is Shad Sullivan coming to you from the headwaters of Bitter Creek, Archer County, North Texas. We have to talk. State officials will be assisting to help identify potential alternative markets if a producer is unable to move animals and if necessary, advise and assist on depopulation and disposal methods. Ladies and gentlemen, we are plowing under vegetable crops from coast to coast. We are euthanizing millions of chickens. We are aborting sows and burying feeder pigs. We are dumping milk by the hundreds of thousands of gallons, and now they are preparing us to depopulate the fat cattle ready to harvest. — Our food supply is in trouble, and I am appealing to producers and consumers across the nation to start calling. Yesterday, the 1st shipment of imported beef from The country of Namibia hit the shores of the United States of America. And yet this morning, they are telling us to prepare to euthanize harvest ready cattle. — It is time we get food on the shelves. Because if you're not concerned about this food supply problem, you better be.”

The Significance Behind The Texas Fires - This Is Another Blow To Our Supply Chain - Where The Fires Happened Is Where 88% Of Texas Cattle Feed - The US Is Already Down Roughly 1 Billion Pounds Of American Beef - These Fires Are Another Win For Foreign Imports Is it another “coincidence” that this specific location is on fire while globalist initiatives are trying to push everyone away beef in the United States? You decide. “By now you guys have heard about the fires going on in Texas. Over half a million acres have burned so far. What a tragedy and misfortune for the families that are ranching there. A lot of people don't understand that that's one more hit to our nation's food supply chain. We are already in a very vulnerable position. And the lowest cattle numbers we've seen since 1950. We're down like a billion pounds in beef in the country, which means they're gonna have to import more, which doesn't help the local producers, which continues to weaken our food supply chain. We're not even into summer yet and dealing with whatever droughts may show up now. So here's what you can do. Find your local farmers and ranchers and have their back. Make sure that they know they're growing their food or raising their food for somebody in America that cares. What we can do is change the way we source our food, leave the existing grocery supply chain where they get the retail dollar and go to our farmers and ranchers, shake their hand and make sure they get the retail dollar. That's how we can secure our food supply chain and also end up making it better for not just the producers, but our families and our environment.”

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."

Imagine fighting for years to save your family’s land and your community’s water… and losing to a single building most people will never see. That just happened in Texas. A massive new AI data center is going up despite residents begging for answers about water use. One large facility can consume 500,000+ gallons of water every single day just for cooling — the same amount used by more than 4,000 average households (source: University of Illinois research). In a state where people already see “mandatory water restriction” signs in their yards and some places even limit rainwater collection, locals asked a simple question: Why are everyday families told to conserve… while hyperscale data centers get unlimited access to the exact same resource? The company told the community (direct quote from local coverage): “Every photo you take, every Google search, every AI prompt — it all has to live somewhere. We’re just meeting the demand you already created.” An economist promised new jobs and “net benefits” for Texas. Meanwhile the same pattern is repeating nationwide: - Maryland: giant new transmission lines slicing through farmland, some taken by eminent domain - Virginia: entire counties transformed by server farms - Tech giants quietly investing in nuclear plants because the energy demand is now measured in gigawatts Progress is undeniable. But who pays the real cost when the cloud gets thirsty? A Texas family’s story in 2:47 ↓ Watch, then tell me: what does a fair tradeoff actually look like in 2025?
