Perot Jr. talks up data centers at Waco luncheon, touts Texas' role in US economic future

Ross Perot Jr. defended data center development during a Thursday discussion at the Baylor Club in Waco, saying communities such as Waco should not miss the sector's growth. He compared data centers with automobile manufacturing plants that communities once welcomed as economic drivers.

The discussion focused on the broader economic role of data centers and Texas' position in the U.S. economy. It did not identify a specific development project, company action or government decision.
