Texas resident Maggie Elizabeth Hill stayed up late on election night to watch the midterm results trickle in. But she was up early again the next morning, already thinking about how she could work with the state’s newly elected Democratic leaders to slow the development of AI data centers.
“I was so excited with the results,” said Hill, who earlier this year formed the data center watchdog group Don’t Drain Texas to help rural communities push back on data center projects. “I started brainstorming like, what can the lieutenant governor do? What are our routes to success here?”
