✦AI Summary
Meta has officially withdrawn from the RE100 renewable energy initiative after a decade of membership. This move follows the company's increased investment in natural gas power plants to support the massive energy demands of its growing AI data center infrastructure.
Over the past year, Meta has funded the construction of at least a dozen natural gas power plants, including one project alone that will burn enough natural gas to generate as much electricity as the entire state of South Dakota uses.
