亚马逊资助美国最大燃气电厂，气候承诺受质疑
Amazon funds biggest gas power plant in US despite climate pledge
Amazon’s artificial intelligence ambitions will soon be partly fueled by a natural gas-burning power plant in Texas that “could become the largest single source of climate pollution in the United States,” The New York Times reported.
据《纽约时报》报道，亚马逊的人工智能雄心不久将部分由得克萨斯州一座燃烧天然气的发电厂提供动力，该发电厂“可能成为美国最大的气候污染单一来源”。
These gas-burning plants are increasingly lumped into data center projects. They produce harmful pollutants, which can accelerate climate change impacts and harm public health—contributing to conditions like asthma, heart disease, lung cancer, and strokes. Some communities are demanding more stringent environmental reviews, but the Trump administration favors fast-tracking that can include skipping the permitting process entirely.
这些燃气发电厂越来越多地被纳入数据中心项目。它们产生有害污染物，可能加速气候变化影响并危害公众健康——导致哮喘、心脏病、肺癌和中风等疾病。一些社区要求进行更严格的环境审查，但特朗普政府倾向于快速推进，这可能包括完全跳过许可程序。
Since Elon Musk’s xAI controversially began relying on gas turbines last spring to power its biggest AI data center, Colossus, there has been public backlash to off-the-grid data centers like the one Amazon is building.
自埃隆·马斯克的xAI去年春天有争议地开始依赖燃气轮机为其最大的AI数据中心Colossus供电以来，公众对像亚马逊正在建造的这种离网数据中心一直存在强烈反对。
