A new #Amazon AWS data center could become the largest #CO2 emissions point source in the US, by a factor of 2.. The proposed facility is permitted for 33 MT CO2/yr. The current point source champ, the James H. Miller Jr. coal plant shown here, did 16.8 MT CO2 last year. That AWS site would then come in between the nations of Ireland and Switzerland on the ranking of global emitters. #datacenter #AI, via Daniel Moran, Senior Scientist NILU
