This is hilarious because a year or so ago these idiots were saying that building a bunch of data centers would stabilize the Texas grid and were encouraging building them.

But what do you expect from a southern state so corrupt it can't supply enough power to heat homes in the winter and builds fertilizer factories across the street from schools.

The order of operations does not matter in the slightest. The government allowed it to happen, and Texas had no laws to prevent it.

The rest of the world has zoning laws to prevent that kind of idiocy.
