As U.S. data centers consumed 183 TWh of electricity in 2025—growing 15–20% annually—tech giants are investing billions in carbon-free nuclear power, reshaping climate and energy trajectories.
Tech giants are funneling billions into specialized AI data centers to meet the massive compute demands of generative AI. This shift is forcing a total reinvention of tech infrastructure, focusing on high-performance hardware and advanced cooling systems.
Elon Musk has finalized a blockbuster merger between SpaceX and xAI, creating a private entity valued at up to $1.25 trillion. The strategic pivot aims to relocate AI data centers into orbit to utilize unlimited solar power and bypass terrestrial energy constraints and regulatory hurdles.
Ecopetrol has surpassed its 2030 renewable energy targets five years early, while advanced nuclear firm Oklo secured a massive 1.2 GW development agreement with Meta. These developments signal a dual-track acceleration in the energy transition, combining traditional hydrocarbon efficiency with aggressive low-carbon scaling.
President Trump met with top tech executives to secure a 'ratepayer protection' pledge, urging companies to develop their own power generation for AI data centers. The initiative aims to decouple massive AI energy demand from public utility grids to prevent rising electricity costs for American households.
President Trump has secured a voluntary 'ratepayer protection' pledge from major technology firms to develop independent power generation for AI data centers. The initiative seeks to insulate residential consumers from rising electricity costs as AI-driven energy demand is projected to triple by 2035.
This page surfaces every story mentioning Meta across our climate coverage. We track each entity's appearance over time so readers can trace how the narrative evolves — which developments are isolated incidents, which build into longer arcs, and which reframe how operators in the space think about the entity. Story selection uses the same multi-source verification gate applied across the rest of our coverage.
Read our editorial methodology for how we identify, deduplicate, and score entity references. Our glossary defines the technical terms used across stories on this page, and our trends index contextualizes individual developments against the longer-running climate beat. Cross-entity comparisons live on our compare view.
