Nearly 15 years worth of hard-won pollution reduction efforts are set to be undone in the United States, as a wave of data centers powered by gas plants enters construction.
That’s according to a new analysis by the Sierra Club, first reported by Bloomberg, which notes that the US energy grid is expected to belch out 2.1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide by 2030, assuming the country’s currently-planned AI developments enter operation as scheduled.
That’s a massive rise compared to even 2025 — itself a near-record year for US carbon emissions. If the AI industry and its data center developers get their way, the analysis found, emissions will likely skyrocket by 42 percent over the five-year period, an expected increase of 618 million tons compared to 2025.
“The numbers continue to sort of boggle our minds,” the Sierra Club’s principal advisor for climate and energy Jeremy Fisher told Bloomberg.
Due to major bottlenecks in the electrical grid, many data center developers have opted for on- or near-site power plants, which are overwhelmingly fueled by noxious fossil fuels. Projects like Elon Musk’s 1.2 gigawatt data center near Memphis are already choking out residents with fleets of methane generators, which legal experts say flaunt all kinds of local permitting and federal environmental regulations.
Still, for anybody banking on having clean air to breathe, there is some hope. The number of data center projects at risk of cancellation is rising precipitously as time goes on — driven by grass roots organizing and increasing financial pressures.
So if you’re one of the many activists mounting opposition to data centers in your community, just know that the benefits of a cancelled hyperscale facility extend far beyond your backyard.

This RAND Corp study has numbers every American should become familiar with, revealing how much oligarchs have stolen from the working class over the past half-century ($79T, see meme below)...
The RAND study first came out a decade ago, which back then they estimated the theft at $50 trillion. But the amount has risen dramatically during this Trump era, featuring Trumponomics which is prominently defined by his tax cuts for the wealthy & rising Trumpflation which has hit the struggling working class especially hard...
No wonder there's so much angst & anger out there, as stressed-out American families are living paycheck to paycheck with a justifiable sense they've been robbed by the system...
There are sensible solutions we can strive to achieve, but it's certainly not coming from Trump's MAGA. Our current president is only making things worse...
To get our country back on track by lowering costs & helping workers make a livable wage, let's relegate MAGA to the dustbin of history & unite around new policies that advance shared prosperity, upward mobility & opportunity for all...

From what former CIA agent John Kiriakou has stated on record, the JFK files will never be released because "they point directly at Israel." This is not a new theory, but it is getting more weight behind it.
Kiriakou said in an interview: "About a year ago, I said, thank God that the President finally released the remaining documents. And he said, no, he didn't. I said, yeah, he did. He was compelled by law. Congress passed a law twice demanding, compelling the President to release all documents related to the Kennedy assassination.
He said, there are 10,000 documents that are never going to be released. And I said, why? And he said, because every single one of them points directly at Israel. He says that the Israelis were so angry that, A, John Kennedy wouldn't give them nuclear technology, but more importantly, B, he was actively trying to disrupt the Israelis from acquiring nuclear technology, and they decided they had to take him out."
Interviewer: "John, why is it that Israel seems to have this much say over the American government? I mean, I don't get it."
John: "I mean. No, I. I don't either. I mean, they're a small little country. Why do they have this kind of power and control? Is it. I don't know. I don't get it. They genuinely believe that it is them against the world, and if they are not among the strongest powers in the world, they're going to end up floating in the Mediterranean. And so they made a strategic decision in the middle 1950s that they were going to have as much of an impact in American elections as they possibly could.
AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, was created in the 1950s as a domestic lobbying organization supporting Israeli foreign policy goals. Every country has lobbyists in Washington. There's nothing unusual about that. What's unusual about it, though? Well, there are several things. Number one, AIPAC is the only one of these organizations that does not have to register as a foreign agent. Why? I don't know why.
They're clearly working on behalf of Israel, but they pretend that they're not. And so they don't have to register as foreign agents. More importantly, they really started focusing on fundraising for American elections in the late 1960s, and then they were successful in getting President Nixon in 1969 to guarantee Israeli national security. We had never said that before, beginning with Harry Truman.
You know, Harry Truman said that his role in the creation of the state of Israel made him, quote, a damn fool, that he was a damn fool for creating that country. And he said it was the biggest regret of his presidency because it spun out of control almost immediately."
Do you think we'll ever get to the truth on this story? We virtually know the official story isn't correct. So what is?
