NEW: How Texas Could End Up Paying an Israeli Company Billions for Water
Unlike other major water infrastructure projects, this one wouldn’t belong to the public, but to a private, foreign water supplier.

Rick Perry booted from board of Fermi data center he created texastribune.org/2026/10/30/…
Perry was not removed from the board, Fermi responds
In response to recent reporting by @TexasTribune regarding Fermi’s Board of Directors, we want to clarify that Governor Rick Perry has not been removed from Fermi’s Board of Directors. In fact, both Governor Perry and Jeffrey Stein received a majority of the votes cast by shareholders.
The proposal failed to achieve the required approval threshold following what the company believes was a breach of contractual voting obligations by the Neugebauer shareholders.
Let’s be clear: Governor Perry and Mr. Stein remain members of Fermi’s Board of Directors and will continue serving until their successors are duly elected. Both remain eligible for reelection.
Fermi remains focused on advancing Project Matador, delivering critical American energy infrastructure, and creating long-term value for its shareholders. We will not allow one disgruntled shareholder to distract from that mission to the detriment of the Company.

On 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, an investigation revealed how Texas is advancing a massive $𝟲.𝟰 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 desalination and pipeline project involving 𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀, an Israeli company that would privately own the water plant.
Meanwhile, governor Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) directed a multimillion-dollar 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 toward supporting the project, while Texas communities could face decades of payments for water.... even when they don't use it‼️
But follow the people behind the project, and the story gets considerably more shady.

And questions about who ultimately profits from Texas's most essential natural resource.

The Nueces River Authority has referred my request for a copy of the IDE contract to the attorney general’s office
The NRA argues that the contract may be withheld because its release could cause the company “competitive harm”

It has begun.
“But it would come at a high cost to consumers, & would mark a dramatic transfer of the public water supply to private ownership.
The private sector realizes that water is a scarce resource. And the private sector wants to capitalize.” insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
