ABILENE, TEXAS - AUGUST 26: In an aerial view, the Stargate Oracle AI data center campus is seen on August 26, 2026 in Abilene, Texas. The Stargate Oracle AI data center will span roughly 4 million square feet and will be operated by Oracle for OpenAI. The facility is the first Stargate site to go live and is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2026. Data centers continue to be a major topic of discussion heading into the 2026 Midterm elections with conservatives raising concerns about property rights, electricity prices and local land-use control, while environmental groups and Democrats have focused on water consumption, pollution and strain on the power grid. Gov. Greg Abbott has paused approvals for new large scale data center loads connecting to the Texas grid. (Photo by Brandon Bell/Getty Images)
