Amazon's investment in a natural gas power plant in Texas will contribute significantly to climate pollution.

>> Amazon has confirmed its investment in a massive gas-burning power plant in Texas, meant to supply up to 7.65 gigawatts of energy to a planned data center in Pecos County. Should it come online as planned, the plant’s 35 turbines would be allowed to spew 33 million tons of CO2 a year, the NYT notes, which would easily make it the largest single fount of emissions in the country. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/amazon-data-center-largest-pollution-source-texas-usa
