Klimakiller Rechenzentren: Hohe CO₂-Emissionen durch Datenzentren in den USA
Taz.de reports that US data centers built for AI are so energy-hungry that dedicated gas power plants are being erected for them, with a Sierra Club study putting their planned 2025–2030 emissions at 618 million tonnes of CO₂, nearly as much as Germany's. Opposition is mounting: 60 percent of voters reject data centers nearby, governors in New York and Texas have ordered building bans, residents are suing, the Cherokee adopted a moratorium, and Trump denigrated AI skeptics as "conspiracy theorists" and "traitors."
