According to MoneyDJ, AI cloud infrastructure provider CoreWeave wrote to Texas governor-elect Gina Hinojosa on November 7, pledging to fund data center connection and infrastructure costs without passing expenses to local residents. The company committed to early community engagement and will use closed-loop liquid cooling systems to minimize water usage comparable to commercial buildings.
Hinojosa, the state's first Democratic governor in over 30 years, previously advocated pausing new data center development during her campaign. Texas hosts approximately one-quarter of planned U.S. AI infrastructure capacity, making state policy a market focus.
