New US data centers projected to emit more CO2 than Mexico

Original: La previsione è che i nuovi data center negli Stati Uniti emetteranno più anidride carbonica dell'intero Messico. L'uso

Forecasts indicate that new data centers being built in the United States will emit more carbon dioxide than the entire country of Mexico. The reliance on fossil fuels to power this expanding infrastructure could undo roughly 15 years of greenhouse gas emission reductions, putting fresh strain on the US electricity system and raising questions about the environmental cost of the AI and cloud computing boom.

Why now: Concern over the climate impact of rapidly growing data center infrastructure is resurfacing as projections show emissions rivaling those of entire nations.
