OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced that the Stargate AI data center in Texas will be joined by five more across the U.S. This expansion is part of a $500 billion infrastructure investment promoted by President Donald Trump. Stargate, a joint venture with Oracle and Softbank, is building additional centers in Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, and an undisclosed Midwest location. The Abilene, Texas project is set to be the largest, transforming the city. Concerns about environmental impact and local resources have been raised, but developers emphasize efforts to minimize effects. The project has significantly boosted the local economy.
