Amazon's Texas data center could become the nation's largest single-source emitter
Amazon plans a Pecos County data center in Texas powered by an on-site natural gas plant that could emit up to 33 million tons of CO2 annually, potentially making it the largest single-source greenhouse-gas emitter in the US; the project ties to the Climate Pledge and the Ratepayer Protection Pledge to source power on-site for new AI centers, drawing criticism from opponents who warn about local and climate impacts.
