A planned Google data center could emit as much as a half-million tons of carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n

Alphabet has filed plans<\/a> for a massive data center in England that could emit nearly 570,000 tons of carbon dioxide each year\u2014roughly equal to 500 short-haul flights a week.

Officials argue new infrastructure is critical to national security and economic growth, while campaigners warn the project will accelerate emissions and strain limited energy and water supplies. The proposal lands as the U.K. seeks multibillion-dollar deals with American tech firms such as Nvidia and OpenAI to secure its place in the global A.I. race.<\/p>\n
