Amazon’s AI expansion will be partly powered by a new natural gas plant in Texas that may become the largest single source of U.S. climate pollution.

The Trump administration has supported fast-tracking such projects, sometimes skipping environmental reviews. The move has drawn backlash similar to criticism over Elon Musk’s xAI data center in Memphis.
