META — Meta Withdraws from RE100 Renewable Energy Pledge Amid AI Data Center Push

Meta Platforms has quietly withdrawn from the RE100 initiative, a corporate pledge to use 100% renewable electricity, in a move seen as a setback for corporate climate action. The decision comes as the company invests heavily in new data centers, some powered by natural gas, to meet the massive energy demands of its artificial intelligence ambitions. Meta's departure from the high-profile climate group highlights the growing tension between Big Tech's AI race and environmental commitments.
