Data Centers are gulping down water in Texas

Lawmaker, Lieutenant Governor Candidate, Texas, Screen shot, Kxan

Vikki Goodwin is currently a member of the Texas Legislature, running a campaign to win Lieutenant Governor on a platform of improving education, health care, housing, and water infrastructure, and opposing Data Centers.  The Lieutenant Governor is the most powerful office in Texas.  This office appoints all Senate committee chairs and controls where and when bills are sent to committees. Her win would end the stranglehold that the right wing Republicans have had on the legislative agenda for decades. 

This is Vikki Goodwin’s statement on Data Centers:

Clean Water for Families, Not Data Centers —Texas continues to face serious drought conditions, and we need to get serious about our water priorities. For decades, the current leadership has failed to address the growing need for water in vast swaths of Texas. Now, tech companies are flocking to Texas to take advantage of our cheap energy to build their facilities. These Data Centers are gulping down water like there’s no tomorrow – using precious resources that could supply entire towns. While these facilities keep popping up across Texas, Vikki believes your family’s water needs should come first, period.
