Republican politician who has served as Governor of Texas since 2015, shaping state policy on energy, infrastructure, and economic development.

Microsoft says ecological landscaping, already used at more than 20 data center sites, is now standard on every new US project. Public Citizen's Texas director says no amount of it makes a gas plant a good neighbor, and points to Microsoft's 20-year Chevron power deal.
Reality
Chevron says Gov. Greg Abbott's moratorium on new data center permits could delay the investment decision on its nearly 3-gigawatt Kilby project until 2027. For one of the largest new US data center projects, the date now depends mainly on a state permit.
Reality
QTS, NextEra and Siemens Energy formed a Texas coalition to win local consent for data centres after nearly $200 billion of US projects were blocked in six months. For their investors, a county commission's vote now sits beside financing and equipment as something a project timeline depends on.
Reality
Ten-year Treasury yields near 5.17%, the highest since 2007, raise the cost of the $4.1 trillion in AI debt JPMorgan expects through 2030. Oracle fell 7% this week as CoreWeave rose almost 8%, a split that follows Oracle's campus news more than rate exposure.
Reality
Washington's first state-level cyber pilot swaps rulemaking for donated vendor labor, which leaves an unanswered question about who pays to fix what the red teams find at Texas water utilities after month six.

The build is now the largest driver of U.S. private investment growth, and 71% of Americans polled want none of it nearby, which makes entitlement risk rather than capital the thing infrastructure investors have to price.

Trump is telling communities that refusing data centers will leave them poor, while Abbott and Pillen have paused approvals in their own states. That gap is where the schedule risk on a project now sits.

Pew surveyed 10,548 adults from July 20 to Aug 9 and found the move against data centers in rural, urban and suburban areas alike and among both parties, while Texas issued a statewide moratorium in August.
Reality
A real estate agent in Bells found survey markers near his 26 acres last December and went looking for whoever owned the plan. A Republican strategist now calls data centers a sleeper issue of the cycle.
Reality
The September 21 directive tells Texas environmental regulators to stop all data center permits until two state audits finish. A dedicated gas plant behind the meter still needs an air permit from the same agency.
Reality
The five-year deal reported by Bloomberg takes Jane Street's rented GPU commitments to about $19 billion across two vendors, at a firm that already runs its own GPUs in Texas and owns equity in one landlord.
Reality
The same survey puts overall opposition at 61 percent among 1,503 likely voters, and New York's pause on large data-centre permits has not moved, so the people siting capacity are negotiating local politics in both parties.
Reality
The president told reporters he likes Flock's license plate readers, a month after Josh Hawley opened a formal investigation into the company's data practices and Greg Abbott halted Texas state funding for the cameras.
Reality
Two Republican states moved against automated license plate readers inside three weeks, one revoking permits it had already granted and one cutting off state money, while Flock Safety's cancellation count keeps climbing.
Reality
Healey's order makes a signed community benefits agreement the price of entry to state permitting for anything above 25 megawatts, while the cost of missing the 100% clean-power test stays unpriced until MassDEP writes that rule by December 31.
Reality
August's cancellations ran roughly 45 times Flock's prior monthly rate, and the objection Los Angeles put in writing was contractual, a clause giving the vendor ownership of the plate data it collects.
Reality
New York's one-year moratorium, Pennsylvania's local-approval requirement and Arizona's tax-break pause all came from officials who once competed for these projects. Siting is now a political question.
Reality
Texas has stopped new data center construction pending an audit of grid connections. The pause is expected to run through November, which lifts capacity planning out of the permitting queue and into a campaign.
Reality
Governor Abbott's audit covers power, water, neighbors and ownership, and ERCOT has made finishing it the condition for Batch Zero to proceed. That puts almost 49.8GW of Texas projects behind a paperwork gate.
Reality
Polling cited by Wired puts opposition to a data center nearby at 75 percent, up from 42 percent a year ago, which turns community consent into a scheduling problem that the China-bot story cannot touch.
