Report says Amazon is backing Texas gas power for AI data center

Report says Amazon is backing Texas gas power for AI data center Image: Primary
Amazon's AI plans will partly be powered by a natural-gas plant in Texas that could become the United States' largest single source of climate pollution, Ars Technica reported, citing The New York Times. The article says Amazon is building an off-grid data center and describes the project as its first large investment in such a facility. It places the project amid wider moves by major AI companies to secure dedicated power supplies rather than rely solely on conventional grid connections.
