@theflopfolders: Gov. Greg Abbott announced a pause on data center permits while Texas reviews their impact on electricity and water resources. However, a report by the Houston Chronicle found that at least 16 related permits had advanced or been approved, according to an analysis by environmental groups. Abbott’s office disputes that any permits have been approved and says the state is complying with his directive. The developments have raised questions about how the pause is being implemented across Texas. #texas #datacenters #midterms #vote #ginahinojosa
