Amazon's Mega Data Center and Its Pollution Risk | Tech News
Description
Amazon’s building a colossal data center in Texas with its own natural gas-powered plant, potentially becoming the U.S.’s biggest carbon emitter—spewing 33 million tons of CO2 annually. Amid surging AI demand, Amazon’s emissions jumped 16% last year, conflicting with its 2040 carbon neutrality pledge. The company insists the project won’t raise electricity bills and reaffirms its climate commitment, even as the world’s energy needs evolve. This high-stakes tech infrastructure push highlights the growing tension between innovation and environmental responsibility.
