AI’s hunger for power is fueling a gas boom in the U.S., with nearly 200 gigawatts of new natural gas plants planned just for data centers — a near-doubling in under a year. Tech giants are building their own “behind-the-meter” power to dodge grid delays and avoid higher bills, but at a steep climate cost: some projects could emit more greenhouse gases than small nations annually. Meanwhile, China’s AI expansion leans heavily on renewables like solar and hydropower, creating a stark green contrast. Even if not all projects build, those that do could lock in decades of emissions — forcing a tough choice between speed and sustainability.
