Estimated additional emissions of 152 million tons per year… US gas power plant plans 165GW

Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
US data-center operators have announced 165GW of on-site gas-fired generation, more than 90% of the 181GW planned globally as of October 5, according to a BloombergNEF report. If all of it runs, supplying the same load from the average grid would emit about 152 million tons less CO2 per year, and BloombergNEF estimates the extra emissions equal roughly 10% of US power-sector emissions in 2025. The firm cautioned that the 181GW figure reflects announced plans at varying stages rather than a forecast of final buildout. The finding matters because gas-backed data-center power could stall US grid decarbonization even as electricity demand from AI surges. Next, watch which announced projects reach final investment decisions and how much of the capacity is actually built.
