Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico is rolling out a bold plan to rein in runaway data center growth, arguing that unchecked expansion is hurting everyday Texans—not helping them. He’s calling for federal standards on power, environment, and jobs, scrapping tax breaks for big tech, and forcing data centers to fund their own infrastructure, use water wisely, and let local communities have a say. With polls showing most Texans, especially in rural areas, oppose new centers, Talarico is positioning this as a bipartisan opportunity—echoing Governor Abbott’s own proposals while pushing for “commonsense” rules that protect residents from sweetheart deals and soaring utility bills. His message? Tech progress shouldn’t come at the cost of people.
