Shut Down and Ban All Data Centers in Texas

To: Rep. Cole, Sen. Eckhardt

From: A constituent in Manor, TX

July 25

Texas is in a drought, temperatures are breaking records, and data centers are making both crises worse. These facilities drain water, overload the grid, and pollute surrounding communities. I want every existing data center in this state shut down and removed, and I want legislation that permanently bans any new ones from being built here. This is not about inconvenience — it is about survival. Texas families are already competing for scarce water and unreliable power. We should not be handing those resources over to Big Tech's AI infrastructure. Take action now: introduce or support legislation to revoke existing data center permits, mandate decommissioning of current facilities, and close the door on any future approvals.
