James Talarico Reveals 'A Plan To Crackdown On These Giant Data Center Companies' At Town Hall
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico outlined a plan to regulate large data center companies during a town hall. His proposals include requiring data centers to pay their own energy costs, recycle water and obtain community consent before construction.
During a CNN and Jubilee town hall, Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico presented a plan aimed at imposing stricter requirements on large data center companies operating in Texas. He said data centers should be responsible for their own energy costs rather than shifting expenses onto utility customers.
Talarico also proposed requiring data centers to recycle water to reduce pressure on Texas’ water resources and obtaining consent from residents before beginning construction in their communities. The remarks described proposed policy goals rather than a specific project, government action or identified company.
