Amazon's Texas AI Campus to Run on 7.65‑GW Gas Plant, Raising Emissions
Amazon confirmed it will power a new AI data center campus in Pecos County with its own 7.65‑GW natural‑gas plant, permitted to emit up to 30 million metric tons CO₂ a year, making it one of the nation’s biggest polluters. The move sidesteps the Texas grid but intensifies climate concerns as AI demand soars.
