A data center planned in Texas has raised concerns about its potential environmental impact. The facility, to be built by OpenAI, is part of a larger trend of data centers being constructed in the state.

Details about the project are available from Floodlight, a nonprofit newsroom that investigates climate action. According to their reporting, the data center's construction has already affected a nearby resident, Omaira Garcia, who lives on a small ranch in Abilene.

Further information about the data center and its potential effects on the environment can be found through Floodlight's newsletter and reporting.
