The Trump administration just announced that it is exempting data centers from certain pollution limits that were originally mandated to prevent acid rain, according to a report by Reuters. Simply put, power plants that primarily serve data centers will not have to be part of the Clean Air Act's Acid Rain Program (ARP). Bloomberg has projected that data centers will account for 20 percent of the nation's energy usage within the next eight years or so. Power plants that serve data centers are not considered utilities, as they don't offer any kind of service to the public. This is just the latest time in which the Trump administration has chosen AI data centers over the environment.
