Amazon’s Texas AI data center raises alarm
Amazon is constructing a massive AI data center in Pecos County, Texas, alongside a natural gas plant capable of generating 7.65 gigawatts. This facility could emit 33 million tons of CO₂ annually, potentially becoming the largest source of emissions from a U.S. power plant. The project raises concerns about balancing AI infrastructure demands with climate commitments, as Amazon aims for net-zero emissions by 2040.
