A coalition led by Greenpeace and over 520 groups is pushing for a national ban on new data centers tied to cryptocurrency and AI, citing Texas's struggles with water and electricity resources. Public opposition in Texas has surged, with 56% statewide and 62% in rural areas opposing data center construction. This backlash has stalled or blocked $130 billion worth of projects in early 2026, including many linked to Bitcoin mining, which relocated to Texas after China's 2021 crackdown. Local moratoriums like Hill County's one-year ban may spread, and a potential federal moratorium could create uncertainty for the crypto mining industry that has thrived under state-friendly policies.
