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. Timestamps (0:00) Intro (02:27) Why Data Centers Are a "12 Out of 10" for Texas (08:17) A Day Without a Data Center (09:34) Inside Stargate: Lancium, Crusoe, Oracle & OpenAI (14:34) When One Data Center Funds 30% of a City's Budget (17:03) The Vicious Restudy Cycle & the Batch Zero Fix (28:55) 440 GW of Applications Chasing 105 GW of Capacity (35:53) The 75 MW Threshold & Going Behind the Meter (48:36) Drafting the Data Center Responsibility Act (54:19) North Texas's Hidden Risk in Batch Zero (01:08:35) Who Actually Pays for the Grid Buildout?

Whitehouse: "There's an unfathomable difference between a seeming facade being constructed around this nominee here today and what he has actually done and said in real life...if you look at history you see the danger of security chiefs in authoritarian regimes becoming the tools of political power"

The call center business is in real trouble. Deepgram just released an API for real conversations. It's a serious upgrade for anyone building voice-first applications. This is no longer about theatrical narration, but about real conversations. Here are the details: 1/5

One day your grandchildren may ask about the Data Center JFK era. The time Georgia politicians gave away tax breaks and turned the most beautiful state in America into a playground for big tech data center developers. John Kennedy helped start it. I'll help end it.

Lutnick: If you are building a data center, you were going to give power to the grid and drive the energy costs of everybody around that data center lower. Trump is going to bring lower energy prices. Everywhere that a big company builds a big data center, they are going to lower the price of energy in the entire area around it.

Data Center developers are leaving gifts on land owners properties they are trying to purchase as bribes to get them to have a conversation American knows a data center wants his property, he was left $400 in cash in hundred dollar bills, a $250 Nike gift card and more He says they’ve been trying to contact him This is a real land acquisition tactic that’s commonly used in America It’s happening more and more with data center developers specifically Developers or brokers are increasingly using creative methods to get reluctant rural landowners to engage when standard outreach fails. They are leaving small incentives on driveways, doors, or mailboxes is one way to spark curiosity and a conversation without immediate confrontation It’s known as a soft bribe tactic This isn’t illegal but it’s very manipulative

This is outrageous. A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town. The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it. The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court. We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

This is very alarming Housing developers are realizing that selling parcels to data center developers is far more profitable than building homes “AI data centers aren't just using electricity and water. They're using land previously planned for homes” - 55 homes were purchased for nearly $1 million per house and knocked down to build data centers outside of Chicago - Amazon paid $700 million for land so they could build a data center instead of homes - Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet are spending more money on data centers than the US spent on railroads in the the interstate highway system in the 1950s, and more than the US spent on the Apollo space program States are choosing data centers over homes. There are real examples of this Northern Virginia is the center of this phenomenon known as Data Center Alley, even though the region has a shortage of more than 75,000 homes I found real devastating examples of this happening: Prince William County / Bristow, Virginia (Northern Virginia “Data Center Alley”) The homebuilder Steve Alloy’s company was preparing to develop 516 new homes when surrounding land was rapidly bought up by Microsoft, Google, and other data center operators instead. Nearby, the Village Place housing project entitled for 250 additional units had its land sold to a data center developer for $31 million Stanley Martin Homes Land Flip to Amazon, Prince William County, Virginia Residential homebuilder Stanley Martin Homes assembled 270 acres for about $51 million. They flipped most of it to Amazon for $700 million In Suburban Chicago Illinois. Stream Data Centers bought a 55 home subdivision for nearly $1 million per home, demolished the houses, and built a 2.1 million sq ft data center campus This must be stopped. We have starter home affordable crisis already

After the Igbo guy exposed the truth, His fellow Igbos started threatening him for exposing their lies There’s a big difference between Trader and Business. There is a big difference between a phone charger seller and a Telecommunication owner !!!

AI is getting much better at hacking and fast. Data from the UK AI Security Institute, the Center for AI Standards and Innovations and others, shows how AI models are becoming dramatically more capable at cyberattacks. Sky's Rowland Manthorpe explains why this is no longer just a warning about one powerful model, but a much bigger industry-wide shift. 📺
