Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, is turning West Texas into a new tech frontier. His startup, Bolt Data & Energy, is building massive data center campuses on land once meant for a railroad—now owned by Texas Pacific Land, a company with deep oil roots and 882,000 acres to spare. The plan? Use West Texas’ abundant natural gas and eventually renewables to power the next wave of AI, aiming to keep America ahead in the global tech race. Imagine: a place known for oil booms could soon be the heart of the AI boom. What do you think—can rural Texas become the new Silicon Valley? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #AI
