Nevada's biggest utility might develop fossil fuels to meet data center demands

Nevada's largest utility company says it may not meet its 2030 clean energy goals due to the demands from data centers. NV Energy, which serves 90% of the state, may need to build thermal fossil fuel energy to accommodate dozens of proposed data centers that would require more energy than three cities the size of Las Vegas. Nevada isn't alone; states across the country are struggling to meet their clean energy goals due to the increase in demand, but data centers say they're doing their part.
