As AI drives a surge in new data centers across Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott wants developers to disclose their projected power and water usage before connecting to the electric grid.

On The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Charles Kuffner and David Branham discuss whether the proposal is a necessary safeguard or a political reversal that comes too late.

Do you think Texas should slow down new data center projects until the state better understands their impact?
