Democrat Gina Hinojosa, elected Texas governor this week, says she will seek laws to protect residents from the effects of data centers. In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday, she said new projects should proceed only if communities have a seat at the table in how they are run. The Hill reports she vowed to protect Texans from data center projects after taking office in January. MarketWatch reports she said she is not ideologically opposed to the facilities. According to The Epoch Times, she defeated Republican incumbent Greg Abbott, and her campaign promised a moratorium on new data center projects.
