...reliable electric grid, historically low occurrences of natural disasters, educated workforce...

Lol. More like, "...pro-business environment with developing-nation levels of regulation while still having a minimally sufficient power grid, the kind of natural disasters that don't affect data centers enough to offset cost savings and a desperately exploitable and cheap workforce.

I'm aware Texas has some top tier educational institutions, but for whatever reason, they're not accessible to their workforce. Texas is about #30 for education in the US.
