In Texas, the online shopping and cloud giant Amazon is building a huge natural gas plant. A few months before the elections, cross-partisan popular anger is rising against the excessive consumption of energy and water by artificial intelligence. Facing this situation that could cost Donald Trump’s Republicans the election, the solution of tech giants, like Amazon, is simple: they bypass local grids. And it hardly matters if the new Texan gas plant will also become the United States’ largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. 65 gigawatts: that’s more than four times the power of France’s Flamanville EPR reactor.
