Michael Rice and Daniel McCoslin connect the dots from Hill County’s historic first-in-Texas moratorium to Leon County’s 12 pending energy and battery storage projects, OpenAI’s Stargate supercluster, the SpaceX chip plant in Grimes County, and the Corpus Christi water crisis.
Michael, Ann, and Daniel catch up on two weeks of news: the 391 Planning Commission launch, Pecan Solar & BESS breaking ground on Hwy 3, a quiet reinvestment zone approval in Robertson County, Van Zandt’s moratorium holding strong, and Grimes County learning about a massive data center with one phone call.
I am not a lawyer, and nothing here is legal or tax advice. I read the public records, statutes and court opinions I can get my hands on, and I write up what I find as I understand it. I get things wrong sometimes, and I correct them when I do.
