Original: AI Data Centers Could Erase 15 Years of America's Climate Progress by 2030

A new report warns that the rapid expansion of AI data centers could wipe out 15 years of America's climate progress by 2030, as surging electricity demand drives up emissions faster than clean energy can offset them. Critics point to tech companies' growing power needs and are renewing calls for stricter efficiency standards and faster renewable buildout to keep US climate goals on track.

Why now: Concerns over AI's booming energy consumption and its threat to US emissions targets are dominating current climate debates.
