Dan Robinson reports that Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal:

"US datacenters are experiencing a significant shift toward coal-powered energy due to elevated natural gas prices and rapidly growing electricity demand.

According to a research note from financial services firm Jefferies, datacenter operators are racing to connect new capacity to the electrical grid, with accelerated load growth expected during the 2026-2028 period.

This spike in demand is driving an unexpected resurgence in coal generation, which has increased nearly 20 percent year-to-date."
