GoKawiilTexas coalition representing ~1 million voters forms to oppose data center expansion
A new coalition called We the People Texas, spanning groups like the Texas NAACP and dozens of other organizations, has formed to slow or stop data center construction across the state. The group cites concerns over water use, tax subsidies, and new gas and wind plants built to meet rising electricity demand, and estimates it represents as many as 1 million voters. An August poll found 57 percent of Texans oppose data center construction, including 43 percent of Republicans and 75 percent of Democrats.
