This is very concerning and affecting all TEXANS.
With the mad dash for AI data centers to pop up all over TX, our water is being targeted.
🚨RURAL WELL OWNERS: 🚨
PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT TEXAS LEGASLTURE IS PLANNING
The 2027 Draft of the Texas Water Plan makes one thing very clear:
Texas is preparing for massive future water demand and groundwater is a major target!!!
Now is your turn to stand up and have your voices heard.
The state is openly discussing:
• groundwater development
• streamlined permitting
• desalination
• aquifer storage
• AI/data center demand
• expanding infrastructure projects
They are projecting nearly $174 BILLION in future water infrastructure needs.
What does that mean for rural communities?
It means places with strong aquifers, open land, and private wells are increasingly being looked at for large-scale groundwater production and export projects.
Many people still think:
“They can’t take our water.”
But once contracts, pipelines, permits, and investors get involved, things change quickly.
RIGHT NOW the state is accepting PUBLIC COMMENT on the Draft 2027 State Water Plan and this is one of the few chances rural Texans have to get concerns officially on record.

''His friend died. He wrote this song. Didn't think he could sing it because of all the emotion. He did get through it and I've never heard him sound better. Truly amazing how to express hurt and pain through music.''
''There isn't a stereo in existence that can play this loud enough.''
Stevie Ray Vaughan performing 'Life Without You' live at Capitol Theatre, in 1985.
Eric Clapton talks about Stevie Ray Vaughan:
"I don't think anyone has commanded my respect more, to this day. The first time I heard Stevie Ray, I thought, "Whoever this is, he is going to shake the world." I was in my car and I remember thinking, I have to find out, before the day is over, who that guitar player is. That doesn't happen to me very often, that I get that way about listening to music. I mean, about three or four times in my life I've felt that way, in a car, listening to the radio, where I've stopped the car, pulled over, listened, and thought, I've got to find out before the end of the day, not, you know, sooner or later, but I have to know NOW who that is.
...and I remember being fascinated by the fact that he never, ever seemed to be...lost in any way...It was as though he never took a breather...or took a pause to think where he was gonna go next, it just flowed out of him. It's going to be a long time before anyone that brilliant will come along again.
I didn't get to see or hear Stevie play near often enough, but every time I did I got chills and knew I was in the presence of greatness.He seemed to be an open channel and music just flowed through him. It never seemed to dry up.
I have to tell this story: We played on the same bill on his last two gigs. On the first night, I watched his set for about half an hour and then I had to leave because I couldn't handle it!. I knew enough to know that his playing was just going to get better and better. His set had started, he was like two or three songs in, and I suddenly got this flash that I'd experienced before so many times whenever I'd seen him play, which was that he was like a channel. One of the purest channels I've ever seen, where everything he sang and played flowed straight down from heaven. Almost like one of those mystic Sufi guys with one finger pointing up and one finger down. That's what it was like to listen to. And I had to leave just to preserve some kind of sanity or confidence in myself."

@Lead_Flinger I’m not saying don’t buy a 6.5 to each their own. As long as you’re hunting/shooting you’re good in my book. Just me personally if I’m buying a deer rifle 6.5CM is not a caliber I would consider. Again that’s just me. I’m sure there’s applications the 6.5 shines.
@Lead_Flinger I’ve seen dudes shoot deer right in the sweet spot with .308s and dropped them or they ran maybe 20-30 yards. Seen the same shot placement with 6.5s and those same sized deer run 200-300 yards sometimes. We are talking Texas whitetails btw…
