Google has entered into a partnership with Crusoe Energy to build a 933-megawatt natural gas power plant in Armstrong County, Texas, to supply energy for its datacenter campus known as 'Goodnight'. This move is seen as a significant departure from Google's previous commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, as the plant is projected to emit 4.5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, surpassing the emissions of the entire city of San Francisco. Despite this, Google maintains that its focus remains on carbon-free energy, with plans to transition from purchasing carbon credits to building its own energy grid. The company has faced criticism for its increasing emissions, which rose by 48% since 2019 due to the energy demands of its datacenters. Google is not alone in this trend; other tech companies, including Meta and Amazon, are also investing in natural gas to meet the energy needs of their AI operations, indicating a broader shift in the tech industry's approach to energy consumption and climate commitments.
