Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance releases report to guide data center development

In recent years, communities across Central Texas have been tasked with evaluating the potential positive and negative impacts of proposed data center projects. The Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance, or GEAA, released a news report summarizing the operations, growth and impacts of data centers.

The overview: The GEAA’s report, titled “Data Centers in Texas: A Review and Call for Innovation and Regulation,” reviews data center response efforts on both national and international levels and provides recommendations for how the developments should be handled in Texas.

Since 2019, $14 billion in venture capital has been invested in data centers from 1,376 deals in Texas, contributing to the southern region’s AI and semiconductor boom, according to an American Edge Project, or AEP, report.

Without action from the state Legislature and municipalities to regulate and address the increase in data center development, the industry’s impact on crucial resources could worsen, according to the GEAA report.

Looking forward: The GEAA report recommends that Texas governmental bodies adopt policies outlining guardrails to reduce the negative impacts of data centers.

Texas businesses can continue selling smokable hemp until July 27, judge rules

Texas retailers can keep various smokable hemp products on their shelves through late July, a Travis County judge ruled May 1.

The overiew: Judge Daniella DeSeta Lyttle’s ruling prohibits the Texas Department of State Health Services, which regulates and licenses consumable hemp businesses, from enforcing new THC testing requirements and sharply increasing licensing fees.

The hemp industry previously argued that the DSHS was overstepping its regulatory authority by changing how Texas classifies THC content. State officials have defended the reclassification and other rules as in line with a September executive order by Gov. Greg Abbott.

What it means: DeSeta Lyttle’s temporary injunction extends an earlier pause on the DSHS rules, which was issued April 10.

The pause applies to all consumable hemp businesses in Texas, allowing them to continue producing, manufacturing and selling smokable products until at least July 27, when a final court trial is scheduled. That could change if the state appeals the ruling to a higher court.
