But it wasn’t just Ingram’s Latino community that was reeling.

More Emissions: Three new data centers near the Texas-New Mexico border, including two in El Paso, could significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions in the region. 

Across State Lines: Regulators have largely considered the environmental impacts of these data centers separately, partly because they are in two different states.

"The GOP has a growing number of Bo Frenches—and not only in Texas," wrote Rove. "Conservativism and the party it dominates have an increasing number of bigoted advocates of a 'heritage America' composed of white descendants of the original European settlers."
