Anthropic struck a deal with a Texas-based energy company for gas-fired engines meant to provide AI data centers with electricity.



The Bloomberg article (archive link) cites several studies that make different projections about the amount emissions will increase, but all agree that the cause is additional fossil-fuel-based power generation for AI data centers.
