Amazon Texas facility may rank as top US polluter, report says
A report from The New York Times indicates that a new Amazon data centre project in Texas is on track to be the nation's leading climate polluter. The company is funding an on-site natural gas power station that is authorized to emit 33 million tons of CO2 every year. As the need for AI-ready data centres grows and power grid connections face bottlenecks, major tech firms are increasingly turning to nuclear energy and natural gas plants.
