得克萨斯州共和党参议员候选人肯·帕克斯顿公布了一项名为“得州优先”的数据中心计划，旨在应对数据中心对能源、环境和社区造成的负面影响，以缓解选民反弹并应对民主党对手詹姆斯·塔拉里科的竞选压力 1。该计划包含多项核心措施，包括禁止中国技术为美国数据中心供电、追究危害儿童安全的AI聊天机器人的刑事责任、削减繁文缛节以防止电价上涨 1。此外，帕克斯顿承诺支持得克萨斯州州长阿博特提出的禁止在农村社区新建数据中心、取消销售税豁免以及确保数据中心增加而非消耗得州电力容量的州级计划 1。
安嫩伯格公共政策中心上月的调查显示，61%的美国人反对在其所在地区新建数据中心，高于3月份的49% 1。在竞选层面，塔拉里科指控帕克斯顿曾从数据中心行业收取近50万美元，并投票给予该行业数十亿美元的税收优惠 1。福克斯新闻7月下旬的民调数据显示，塔拉里科以51%对48%的支持率领先于帕克斯顿 1。帕克斯顿曾于2023年被弹劾后在得州参议院审判中被判无罪，其2024年的重罪证券欺诈指控也在审前转移协议后被驳回 1。
Texas Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton has unveiled a "Texas first" datacenter plan aimed at addressing the negative impacts of these facilities on energy, the environment, and communities 1. The initiative is designed to alleviate voter backlash and counter campaign pressure from his Democratic opponent, James Talarico 1. This announcement follows an Annenberg Public Policy Center survey from last month revealing that 61% of Americans oppose the construction of new datacenters in their local areas, an increase from 49% in March 1.
Paxton's four-point plan includes prohibiting Chinese technology from powering U.S. datacenters, holding AI chatbots criminally liable for endangering children's safety, and reducing red tape to prevent electricity price increases 1. Furthermore, he committed to supporting Governor Abbott's state plan, which involves banning new datacenters in rural communities, eliminating sales tax exemptions, and ensuring that datacenters increase rather than consume Texas's power capacity 1. Talarico accused Paxton of taking nearly $500,000 from the datacenter industry and previously voting to provide billions of dollars in tax breaks 1.
A Fox News poll conducted in late July showed Talarico leading Paxton 51% to 48% 1. Paxton previously faced an impeachment in 2023 but was acquitted during a Texas Senate trial, and felony securities fraud charges against him were dismissed in 2024 after a pretrial diversion agreement 1.
