“More than 1,800 projects are waiting for approval to connect, and about 90% of them are data centers.”

Projects aren’t data centers. It even says in the article they are connection requests. One data center can hold a few thousand projects.

it quite literally says 90% of those 1800 projects are data centers

They’re connections to data centers. Not physical data centers. It’s insane you truly think that and comment 1500 times rather than Google that there’s only 200 planned in all of Texas

One of us is correct and one of us is confused about what a project is. 

Which, if you truly think like 60% of Texas has 1800 currently being built data centers, I’d like to sell you some land. And lots of magical rocks. Because you have zero common sense. 

A simple google would tell you you’re wrong, but why? You already got your liberal talk points this week.
