Eleven Eleven Today. Make A Wish.
My family is from Bosnia, but I was born in Novi Sad (Vojvodina in Serbia) & grew up in Hannover (Germany) since I was 14 months old. I'm fluently trilingual: Serbian, German & English. I also learned Latin for 5 years in school, but I forgot the most of it since I did not use it. I studied EEIT (Electrical Engineering & Information Technology) at the HsH (University of Applied Sciences & Arts in Hannover) & graduated on 8.8.2007 with a specialization in communications engineering. I'm an Electrical Engineer of Serbian origin like my legendary fellow countryman Nikola Tesla, but regarding electrotechnical implementations I am very far away from the brilliancy that Nikola Tesla represents & after I graduated I did not work in this particular field for various reasons ... & b.t.w.: I've a dual citizenship 1.)Serbian+2.)German(since1999)+I consider myself a citizen of Planet Earth.

Texas just slammed the door on the data center boom, and Elon Musk is standing on the wrong side of it.
Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa beat Greg Abbott on a promise of an immediate moratorium on new data centers until the Legislature passes real protections for Texans.
That’s not a tweak. That’s a wall.
Musk’s AI company had been scouting Texas for new data centers and warehouse conversions. He also poured $474 million into backing Republicans this cycle, $224 million of it in Texas. The state he bet on just voted the other way.
Abbott had already told the TCEQ in September to freeze new permits. Hinojosa goes further: nothing moves until the laws change.
Lawmakers don’t convene until January 2027. The clock’s running, and nobody in Austin is in a hurry.

Almost half of 2026’s data center projects are now stuck or dead. Some are delayed. Others got canceled outright, right in the middle of the AI building rush.
The reason? Locals.
Community opposition keeps growing,
and it’s become a real problem for the industry.
The race for compute assumed power
and land were the hard part.
Nobody priced in
the neighbors.
