  Jul 27, 202651 min

  Send us Fan Mail This week, Venessa Wood of AgTalk: Your Story Matters discusses the controversial rise of AI data centers affecting Texas and other states, emphasizing it is a “we the people” issue rather than partisan, and opening with prayer and a call to unity and discernment. She shares concerns from rural communities about being left out, urging local hiring, warning of temporary job booms followed by fewer permanent technical roles, and describing impacts such as higher rents and cost of living, RV “man camps,” increased crime concerns, traffic, road damage, and strain on emergency services. She highlights water-table worries, supports closed-loop water systems and possible brackish water use, and contrasts regulated vs. unregulated centers, stressing the need to know ownership. She warns China may exploit loopholes to gain footholds and advocates local-to-federal oversight committees. She explores city vs. rural siting, farmland buyout pressures, and neighbor and livestock concerns, and calls listeners to engage leaders and stay accountable.
