US data centers could erase 15 years of emissions progress

Tom's Hardware reports a claim that US data center buildouts could wipe out 15 years of emissions progress. Techmeme, citing Bloomberg, says the Sierra Club expects US power emissions to hit 2.1 billion metric tons by 2030, up 42% from 2025 and erasing 15 years of cuts. Techmeme also says off-grid data centers' emissions could match Mexico's.
