AI Drives Construction Expansion of New US Gas Power Plants Amid Climate Emergency
Jan 13, 2025, 01:24 PM
Recent reports indicate that the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a substantial increase in the construction of new gas power plants across the United States. This trend raises concerns regarding the impact on the country's climate goals, particularly as it unfolds amid a climate emergency. The Financial Times highlighted that AI is set to significantly influence the energy sector, leading to a surge in fossil fuel power generation. Experts warn that this development could jeopardize efforts to meet climate targets, as the expansion of gas power facilities may counteract initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
