Planned Amazon data center could become the biggest climate polluter in the U.S.

# Amazon's Massive Texas Data Center Could Be the U.S.'s Biggest Climate Polluter Amazon is building a data center in Texas that will include its own power plant to keep it running, and this single facility could end up producing more greenhouse gas emissions than any other source in America. The move raises serious environmental concerns since data centers require enormous amounts of electricity to operate the servers that power cloud services millions of people use daily. This highlights a growing tension between the tech industry's expansion and climate change goals.
