   Sierra Club Estimates AI Data Centers Could Add 618 Million Tons of Emissions

   Sierra Club analysis obtained by Bloomberg estimates that planned US AI data centers could add 618 million metric tons to power-sector emissions from 2025 through 2030, a 42% increase that could effectively reverse 15 years of reductions. The estimate is higher than the group’s projection from a year and a half earlier, while Rhodium Group’s highest-emissions scenario projects US power-sector emissions in 2040 to remain 24% below 2025 levels. Outcomes depend on how many projects are built, their power sources, and renewable deployment.

   AI Data Centers Could Reverse US Power-Sector Emissions Gains

   A Sierra Club analysis reported by Bloomberg estimates that planned AI data center demand could raise US power-sector CO2 emissions to 2.1 billion metric tons by 2030, about 42% above 2025 levels. The analysis says much of the additional emissions could come from developer-built natural-gas generation outside the public grid, potentially offsetting 15 years of reductions. The figures are scenario-based, with estimates varying sharply depending on project completion, grid constraints, and fuel choices.
