Dallas Startup Mousterian Bets on Floating Data Centers to Dodge Texas Water Wars

A Dallas-based startup, Mousterian, is developing floating data centers to address significant water consumption issues in Texas. They've signed an engineering contract with Samsung Heavy Industries for co-designing vessels that use non-evaporative cooling. This initiative comes as North Texas faces substantial water concerns related to the data center industry, prompting a state-level moratorium from Governor Greg Abbott and the scrapping of another project due to water concerns.
