What does the next agriculture commissioner think about a pause on data centers?
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has proposed a temporary statewide moratorium on data center development, citing concerns over water and power consumption and farmland usage. His proposal is a key point of discussion for candidates seeking to replace him. While the Commissioner lacks the direct authority to impose such a ban, local entities like Harlingen and Hill County have enacted similar moratoriums, with Hill County now facing a a $100 million lawsuit from a data center developer.
