Fracking turned the US oil industry into an oil and gas (methane) industry. Gas pipelines have been built to allow methane to be transported rather than flared (or silently leaked) at the well head.
Lots of these new data centres have gas generators burning the “waste gas”. Take a look at the xAI data centre and the NAACP lawsuit against it.
With this threatened build in Utah now the pollution will be in white people’s backyards.

@futuresprog@mastodon.nzoss.nz This is a great reference, thank you. I didn't know of the waste gas component.
