Texas has been a magnet for data centers for years.

  Interesting. I wonder what the factors are that lead to that? Cheap energy? Absence of severe weather? Something else? NC is now becoming know as something of a magnet for data centers[1], and the "cheap energy" part is one of the reasons that's often cited here.

    Cheap and plentiful land with very good infrastructure for water and power.

    That and it being kind of centrally located. We've also got a lot of talent coming out of local-ish (UTD, UT, UNT, SMU) universities to fill the labor demand.
