Trump Calls Abbott's Texas Data Center Moratorium a 'Mistake' — 'It Could Be Bigger Than Oil'
In a Punchbowl News interview released Friday August 7, Trump criticized Republican Governor Greg Abbott's industry-wide pause on new Texas data center approvals, saying 'I think it's a mistake... because there are other communities that want it' and that 'for Texas to say no to data centers is a mistake in the sense that it could be bigger than oil.' Abbott's moratorium requires state regulators to audit proposed data centers seeking grid connection — power and water use, cooling type, tax breaks received, community-impact mitigation, and ownership. Abbott's office declined to back down, citing grid integrity and water supply.
