Anthropic is one of the world's largest AI compute consumers with zero emissions reporting, no science-based targets, and no renewable energy strategy. The company projects 5GW capacity needs by 2028 while actively lobbying to weaken data center environmental permitting. This is aggressive climate non-engagement at scale.
