Datacenters in Disarray: Can Paxton's Plan Mitigate the Backlash? The datacenter industry has been facing increasing scrutiny over its power hungry operations and environmental impact.
Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate for US Senate in Texas, has unveiled a plan to tackle the "negative impact" of datacenters on his state's communities.
Paxton's plan aims to address concerns by banning Chinese technology from powering US datacenters, holding companies liable for AI chatbots that endanger children, and cutting red tape to ensure datacenters don't raise electricity bills.
