But concern over the proliferation of data centers seems to be alarming voters and politicians on both sides of the aisle. A few days before Trump’s interview, Abbott announced a stop on the approval of data centers until regulatory agencies can audit proposed data centers seeking connection to the state’s electric grid. Dallas itself has become a data center hotbed, and that doesn’t appear to be stopping anytime soon. Recently, The Dallas Morning News reported that the soon-to-shutter Market Hall could soon be an energy-hungry data center, for example. As often as you might see news about data centers now, it’s likely only going to become more frequent.
