Texas Gov. Abbott orders data center permit halt weeks after issuing moratorium

A major U.S. state has halted data-center expansion permits amid political pressure over power and land use. This directly constrains where frontier labs and cloud providers can build capacity — a critical chokepoint in the compute race.

California tightens rules on AI data center energy and water use

California's new regulatory framework shifts AI infrastructure costs from ratepayers to operators, directly impacting data-center economics and likely triggering similar policy moves elsewhere. For practitioners budgeting AI infrastructure, this changes the unit economics of on-prem and hyperscaler buildout in the largest tech state.
