德克薩斯數據中心恐威脅數十年空氣品質改善成果
新研究顯示，德克薩斯州的數據中心可能驅使污染水平回升至2000年代，抵消數十年的空氣品質改善。
researchers at the houston advanced research center modeled different outcomes for data center energy demand in texas. if data centers rely on the grid mix, fine particle pollution could more than triple, reaching its highest level since 2006. smog-forming nox emissions would increase 136 percent, approaching pollution levels from 2004. however, nox emissions could be up to 10 times lower if data centers pair grid power with onsite renewable electricity.
