Very quick Googling suggests Wired’s estimate would be ~1.9% of US emissions.
AI data center investment is, at core, a bet on increasing the productivity of labor. That’s what businesses will pay for, and what will earn the big money.
If US labor productivity rises by more than 2%—and implicit in the size of this bet is a guess much higher—US carbon intensity goes down correspondingly, and these data centers end up as a win for the climate.
We are fucked by billionaires…. again and again… till there is nothing left. And people will still vote for these bastards.
