"Natural gas is the clear winner in a fast-moving push to generate power directly at data centers, a new report finds."

It's no secret that the #FossilFuel industry has been helping you hype #AI. They know AI's insatiable thirst for energy will fuel demand of their products - products destroying the climate and poisoning people.

Relatedly, Texas is planning on building the largest natural gas project to fuel #AI data centers.

"The planned hyperscale facilities of north and west Texas, if fully built out, could be among the largest emissions sources in both the country and the world."
