Data centers and heat (June 23, 2026)

Summary by Spring Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Michael Hagerty, Houston Public Media · June 23, 2026 · 1 min read

On Tuesday's show: We’ve heard a lot about the toll large data centers might take on water and energy demand in Texas. But how might they also affect the weather and climate around them -- including here in Houston?

Why this matters in Spring

In Harris County, where Spring is located, the shift in Latino voting patterns could have significant implications for local elections. The area is served by the Harris County government, and voting trends among Latinos could influence the outcomes of county-wide elections, including those for the Harris County Sheriff's Office and Constable Precinct 4, which serves the Spring community. As the Latino population continues to grow in Spring and surrounding areas, their voting habits will be crucial in shaping the local political landscape. The Spring ISD and Klein ISD school districts, which serve the community, may also be affected by changes in voting patterns, as education is often a key issue in local elections. With the Grand Parkway and Interstate 45 running through the area, Spring is a vital part of the Houston metro, and its voters' preferences will be closely watched in future elections.
