AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Data Centers vs. the Grid: Texas has paused approvals for data centers seeking ERCOT grid connections while regulators audit each project’s expected electricity and water use, subsidies, ownership, and local impacts—an order tied to the state’s massive large-load queue where data centers make up about 90% of proposed demand. Local Governance: San Antonio council members are pushing for a temporary data center moratorium over water, power, and neighborhood pollution concerns. Climate & Health: A New York Times report says Amazon’s Pecos County Texas AI data center and its linked natural gas plant could become the nation’s biggest pollution source, with permits authorizing up to 33 million tons of CO2 annually. Extreme Weather: Forecasters warn of dangerously hot, dry conditions plus severe storms across much of the U.S., raising wildfire and flash-flood risk. Wildlife & Land: Texas wildlife officials are investigating illegal killing of a nearly 12-foot alligator, with a reward offered. Food Safety: The FDA detailed a large cyclospora-linked produce recall tied to Taylor Farms, affecting hundreds of thousands of cases of lettuce.
