amazonの33MトンCO2プラントが暴くAIの汚いエネルギーの現実
amazonはテキサスのAIデータセンター向けに、33MトンのCO2排出が許可された7.65GWのガス発電所を支援しており、同社のカーボンニュートラル公約に疑問を投げかけている。
amazon is investing in a 7.65gw natural-gas plant in pecos county, texas, to power its growing ai infrastructure. the gw ranch plant received a permit for up to 33 million tons of co2 annually, exceeding the largest coal plants, as grid capacity limits force tech giants to build dedicated off-grid power. amazon confirms it purchased the site to support its ai operations, even as emissions rise for the fifth consecutive year. this trend mirrors moves by meta and google, highlighting a conflict between ai scalability and carbon-neutral commitments.
