Texas voters across party lines oppose data center construction amid election season

A new poll found that 57% of Texas voters oppose data center construction, including 43% of Republicans, 75% of Democrats, and 54% of independents. The opposition, led by a coalition of over 40 groups including the NAACP, stems from concerns over water use, tax subsidies, and new energy infrastructure. With the midterm elections approaching, data centers have become a unifying issue against the industry's rapid growth in the state.
