Austin doesn't live in the periphery.

Austin has a different mentality.

Our legislators in Austin are mostly rhinos.

There are some good ones in there, but they're in the minority.

Byron Harrison's one of them, leading the charge on letting out.

He's another sentinel, if you will.

He's a watchman.

And so we get more and more like that.

We can shift the tide.

Why can I do that?

I don't know everything there is to know with regard to taxes, but I got the smartest people in the state working on it.

I do understand that leadership is the bottom line on how to be responsible for everything that happens and fails to happen and to delegate out as appropriate to the smartest people in the room.

You are hitting on something.

It's the data centers.

It's not just the energy.

It's the water, and particularly the aquifers in West Texas and Arizona are going to be sucked dry.

Are the people awakening to the issue?

I mean, the EO last night we talked about is now they've accommodated the four Cs, one's community, and it's about these data centers.

The data centers themselves, what they emit is,

the energy that you got to come up with and how that's going to impact the people.
