Texas data center plan could crown Amazon as nation's top climate polluter

The Independent reports that Amazon’s Pecos County data-center campus in Texas would be powered by an on-site natural-gas plant estimated to emit up to 33 million tons of CO2 annually, potentially making it the largest single-source climate polluter in the United States; Amazon says the plant won’t raise electricity costs for Texas residents and is exploring solar and storage to connect to the grid later, as demand for AI-driven data centers accelerates, while critics argue it complicates the company's climate commitments.

Ukraine's largest thermal power station, Trypillia, was completely destroyed in a Russian aerial attack, leading to potential rolling blackouts in the affected regions. President Zelensky called for partners to fulfill their promises of supplying air defense systems to protect key Ukrainian cities. Greece offered F-16 fighter jets for sale, which Ukrainian pilots have been training on, in hopes of gaining air superiority. The F-16s could pose a threat to Russia and help intercept incoming aerial attacks.
