Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa vows to ban future data centers in Texas

Gina Hinojosa won the Texas governor's race. After taking office in January, she plans to establish a temporary pause on new data center projects in Texas. This moratorium will remain in place until the state legislature meets and can pass what she describes as stronger protections for Texas residents. Hinojosa says these protections are needed so that Texans can have input on data center decisions affecting their state.
