Not long ago I reminisced how Texas felt more open and accepting under Governor Ann Richards. Of course, there had been a big oil bust and any new residents or businesses were greeted with a big "Howdy!"
Texas has been open for business, granting giant incentives for decades. Those lining up for current handouts include massive data centers.
Data centers have the electrical and water needs of a giant Frankenstein needing to be constantly shocked back to life. This issue drove some people away from Trump backed candidates.
Crank up the hubris. Donny has revenge to administer.
