Microsoft depends on natural gas for AI centers
Microsoft and Chevron announce the creation of a 2.67 gigawatt natural gas power plant in Texas to supply power to Microsoft's AI data centers, over a period of 20 years. The project, called "Project Kilby," is one of the largest initiatives to combine natural gas plants with data centers in the United States and aims to meet the growing demand for smart computing capabilities. Despite Microsoft's prior commitment to environmental sustainability, the project highlights the challenges of achieving sustainability amid the massive increase in energy consumption associated with artificial intelligence, with projections of releasing over 13 million tons of carbon dioxide during its operational period.
