Texas governor-elect says permitted AI data centers can finish construction
A Reddit r/stocks post reports that Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa, in a recent TV interview, said all currently permitted data centers in Texas will be allowed to finish construction, covering 2027 and likely into 2028. The post also lists her "Texans First Data Center Priorities," including union labor requirements, community input, an end to NDAs, and proof that households won't pay more for electricity or water. The post frames these as reasonable and argues fears of an AI data center bust are overblown.
