The Situation

Image by Patrick Hendry

Past

Data Centers and their accompanying Power Plants are a proven detriment to people's health.  Hood County has already seen the effects of the Wolf Hollow Power Plant combined with the MARA Mining Facility / Data Center.

Present

Hood County currently has multiple Data Center and Power Plant Developers trying to purchase land in our community. Most Counties do not have a fighting chance against Big Tech as regulations outside of municipal areas are minimal.  However, Hood County is protected through Subchapter K of the Texas Local Government Code. 

See Highlighted Document.

Future

We will be working with government officials to draft a regulation that makes future data center and power plant developments impossible in Hood County to the benefit of all current and future Hood County Residents.

The Detrimental Effects of living next to a Data Center include:

Loss of Property Value

Massive Draw on Water and Electricity

Extreme Health Concerns

Constant Noise

Factory Smoke Pollution

Poor Air Quality

Enormous Industrial Buildings

Low Frequency Cellular Breakdown
