Conservatives on social media and in the public square are increasingly speaking out about a bill being mulled in the Texas legislature they say threatens President Donald Trump’s goal of ushering in a "golden age" of American energy and AI dominance.
Some conservatives are rebelling over a proposal in the Texas Senate that will give the state broad authority to control new data centers in the state. SB6, or "the data center bill," caused an online ruckus recently, with conservative opposition to the bill gaining momentum, arguing that the bill, should it pass, will impose a major roadblock to the Trump administration’s "Golden Age" of American energy production.
Texas, long believed to be an ideal location for the AI fueling data centers, is a major location for President Trump’s multibillion-dollar Stargate plan and is considered a finalist for numerous other multibillion-dollar projects and investments over the next decade.
Provisions in SB6, however, issue regulations giving the state broad authority to control both the data centers’ use and cost measures that could eat into data center producer margins, which critics say makes the state a far less appealing location for these investments and potentially gives China the upper hand in the race to dominate AI.

"AI data centers use a LOT of power - and while huge AI firms will be able to brunt these costs, smaller firms will have a harder time building," Florida Voice News assistant director Eric Daughtery posted on X. "Texas Republicans need to think this through. Conservatives should NOT favor disincentivizing competition."
"President Trump’s quest for AI dominance is about to be derailed by a bill being offered up in the Texas State Senate," conservative commentator Grant Stinchfield posted on X. "SB6 could literally cost Texas the $500 billion Stargate project. I can’t believe I’m telling Texas how bad overregulation actually is!"
"Texas Senate Bill 6 (SB6) is a bad idea. It threatens to challenge President Trump's vision for AI dominance and the need for the US to invest in domestic data centers," conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong posted on X while tagging the state’s Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. "If you want China to win and stifle American innovation, this seems like the bill to do it."
