States are rolling out red carpets for data centers. But some lawmakers are pushing back

  • States are offering incentives to attract data centers due to rising demand for artificial intelligence and cloud computing platforms, which may lead to economic benefits.
  • Some state lawmakers oppose incentives for data centers, arguing that they create friction with local communities.
  • Critics note that data centers generate few permanent jobs, while advocates highlight their need for construction jobs and tax revenue for local governments.
  • In Texas, lawmakers are concerned about protecting the electric grid amid increasing data center demand following the 2021 winter blackout.
