They idea of putting data-centers in Texas astounds me... Hurricanes on the gulf, and tornadoes throughout make it a horrible place for computing...

Add that to the fact that their power grid is held to gether with duct-tape and bailing wire... There's gonna be a lot of generators running a lot of the time...
