Houston’s rapid push to become an AI powerhouse could hit a snag underground. The salt caverns that store natural gas—crucial for keeping power plants running during sudden demand spikes—aren’t expanding fast enough to keep up with the city’s data center growth. While new storage projects are in the works, delays and high costs mean there’s a real risk of not having enough quick-access gas when it’s needed most. This could force data centers to rely on temporary generators, raising questions about energy reliability and costs for everyone. How do you think Houston should balance tech growth with energy security? #Business #Industry #Houston
