Data Centers Could Skyrocket US Pollution
2 min read
A new analysis by the Sierra Club estimates US power sector carbon dioxide pollution could rise 42 percent by 2030 due to data center electricity demand. This increase would wipe out 15 years of greenhouse gas reductions and add 618 million tons of CO2 emissions by the decade's end, equivalent to the annual electricity use of 128,788,523 homes.
