President Trump announced a $500 billion initiative for AI data centers, led by tech companies like OpenAI and Oracle under the "Stargate" project, starting in Texas. This comes amidst extreme weather events, including record snowfall along the Gulf Coast, attributed to a polar vortex influenced by climate change. Additionally, Trump ended a pause on LNG exports, aiming for increased production, while Microsoft announced a $200 million deal for carbon credits to offset AI-related emissions.
