O&G companies are pushing more AI so they can sell more fossil fuels to AI data centres.

O&G companies are also investing in AI in the expectation that AI data centres will pay them back by buying their fossil fuels.

Then of course, they'll tell us they're only meeting our own "demand" for fossil energy.

Edit: I just noted this story is from 2025. Sorry about that.

Right-wing political group Americans for Prosperity, backed by oil and gas billionaire Charles Koch, sees data centers as part of a larger pro-fossil fuel agenda.

Just what we need!
