Google, which once pledged to be carbon neutral by 2030 and has long been seen as a pioneer in clean energy, is now partnering with fracking companies to power Google data centers.

One such gas power-plant in Texas would emit more carbon dioxide, a primary driver of the climate crisis, per year than the entire city of San Francisco.

Fracked methane gas power-plants for Google data centers in Illinois and Nebraska are also planned.
