- Texas regulators did not stop processing permits for data-center projects after Abbott ordered a pause last month.
- FracTracker, an oil and gas watchdog group, released its public-records analysis Monday amid an upswell of public opposition to the booming data-center buildout.
Why it matters: The distinction that matters is between ordering a pause and halting the process: last month’s order did not stop Texas regulators from processing data-center permits as public opposition rose. That leaves projects awaiting review without any immediate state-level halt.
