Hundreds of Texas data centers under investigation after failing to report water usage

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into hundreds of data center developments for failing to report their water usage. This probe highlights concerns that large-scale data center developments consume enormous amounts of water to cool computer servers. As the Lone Star State is currently experiencing a water shortage, the state is taking these steps to address the lack of reporting and manage the significant environmental impact of these facilities on local water supplies.
