New UH survey: 79% of Texas voters want limits on data centers amid concerns over electric bills, water supply
A University of Houston Hobby School survey of 2,000 likely Texas voters, reported by Click2Houston ahead of the November 3 election, finds 79% support limiting data center construction, 99% say companies should pay for grid expansion, and more than 80% worry about electricity prices, water supplies, and outages. Concern varies by party, and most voters doubt data centers will help jobs or tax revenue while seeing AI as net harmful.
