Fort Worth Council Approves Site Plan for Black Mountain Energy Data Center Despite Resident Opposition

Fort Worth residents are opposing Black Mountain Energy's proposed $10 billion hyperscale data center, citing concerns about noise, heat, air quality, water conditions and limited community involvement.
