Data centers could erase decades of air quality gains

Emissions from the electricity powering these facilities could reverse hard-won public health gains. Readers are debating the environmental cost of the AI boom and whether tech companies are moving fast enough on clean energy.
Why now: Concern is growing that the AI-driven data center boom will offset years of air pollution progress.
