  On a suspicion, I had a quick look, and of course there’s also tax incentives, apparently.

  Love this quote “Texas had long been a preferred location for large data centers given its central location, economic climate, reliable electric grid, historically low occurrences of natural disasters, educated workforce and pro-business environment.” :|

    Yeah, the Texas electric grid is as reliable as a cardboard shed in a hurricane.

    Speaking of hurricanes, “historically low occurrence of natural disasters” is also the exact opposite of reality and rapidly getting WORSE.

    The real reason is of course corrupt politicians in charge of a kakistocratic government that’ll let them get away with anything up to and including mass murder while throwing money at them.
