- 1Climate Activists Target AI Data Centers and Amazon Gas Plant Plan●Climate Activists Target AI Data Centers & Amazon's Plan to Build Largest U.S. Gas Power Plant
Climate activists are turning their attention to the booming AI industry, protesting data centers and opposing Amazon's plan to build what would be the largest gas-fired power plant in the United States. Campaigners argue that the massive energy demands of artificial intelligence are driving new fossil fuel expansion, and reports of the Amazon project have intensified criticism that Big Tech's AI growth is colliding with climate goals.
- 2PacificLight Power starts Singapore's first gas plant with battery storage●PacificLight Power begins work on S’pore’s first gas power plant that comes with battery storage
PacificLight Power has begun construction on Singapore's first gas-fired power plant integrated with battery storage. The project combines a natural gas turbine with energy storage, allowing the company to manage supply more flexibly and support the grid as Singapore works to decarbonise its power sector. It marks a step forward in the country's push for more resilient and cleaner energy infrastructure.

Georgia's greenhouse gas emissions are projected to increase following the repeal of an Environmental Protection Agency rule, according to reporting carried by multiple regional outlets including the Savannah Morning News and The State. The rollback would ease federal limits on power plant pollution, with potential consequences for air quality and the state's climate commitments.
- 4Canada Pension Plan criticised for gas power investments tied to AI data centres▼# AI # DataCentres # canada Gas Power Plants for AI Data Centres Are a Risky Bet with Your Retirement Savings The Canada
Critics are accusing the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board of risking the retirement savings of 22 million Canadians by backing gas power plants meant to serve AI data centres. The argument is that the pension fund should act in contributors' best interest, not gamble on fossil fuel infrastructure whose value could erode as clean energy advances and AI demand shifts.
- 5Protesters demand pause on GKN Aerospace reopening after Garden Grove gas leak●Protesters call for moratorium on GKN Aerospace reopening after Garden Grove gas leak
Protesters in Garden Grove, California are calling for a moratorium on the reopening of the GKN Aerospace facility following a gas leak at the site. Demonstrators want the plant to remain closed until safety concerns are addressed, and local news coverage of the protest is drawing attention to the incident and community demands for accountability from the company.
- 6Gas Plants for AI Data Centres Called a Retirement Savings Risk▼Gas Power Plants for AI Data Centres Are a Risky Bet with Your Retirement Savings
Commentators are warning that the rush to build gas power plants to feed energy-hungry AI data centres could expose retirement and pension savings to serious risk. The argument is that utilities and investors are pouring money into new gas infrastructure on the assumption of endless AI-driven demand growth, a bet that could leave stranded assets and losses if demand or regulation shifts.
- 7Clearway keeps solar farm, rejects data center and gas plant plan●Clearway decided against swapping its solar farm project for a data center and gas plant on federal land. # energy https
Clearway Energy has decided against replacing its planned solar farm project with a data center and gas plant on federal land. The decision keeps the renewable project on track despite growing pressure to convert land intended for clean energy into fossil-fuel and data infrastructure. Observers see it as a signal that developers may resist the industry-wide push to pair data centers with gas power, even as demand for computing capacity surges across the United States.
- 8Rooftop solar growth makes New England gas plant obsolete▼Rooftop solar growth makes giant New England gas plant obsolete as region hits 500th Duck Curve day
Rooftop solar adoption in New England has grown so large that a major gas-fired power plant is being considered obsolete, according to pv magazine USA. The region has now recorded its 500th 'duck curve' day, when midday solar generation suppresses grid demand, reshaping how the power system is run and undermining the economics of large conventional plants.
- 9Fort Worth to build plant converting landfill emissions into energy●Renewable energy plant will convert landfill emissions, support Fort Worth’s trash demands
Fort Worth is moving ahead with a renewable energy plant designed to capture and convert landfill gas emissions while helping the city manage its growing trash disposal needs. The project, reported by Fort Worth Report, is presented as a dual win: reducing methane pollution from the landfill and supporting local energy production as the city's waste demands increase.
