The Financial Times reports growing local opposition in Texas to data-center expansions, challenging the state's traditionally pro-business environment. Texas leads the US in data-center capacity under construction, making this resistance a critical test of Governor Abbott's growth policies.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

A backlash against data-centers in Texas is eroding the pro-business advantage for hyperscalers and infrastructure founders. You need to adapt expansion plans now or risk delays in this vital US growth market.
