Meta signed a major power purchase agreement for Texas solar capacity while expanding gas-fired power consumption, exposing a gap between corporate renewable commitments and actual energy mix. The company's data center buildout is outpacing renewable procurement, forcing reliance on grid power that remains heavily fossil-dependent in Texas. This pattern likely extends across major tech companies making net-zero pledges without addressing baseload power needs or timing mismatches between supply and demand.
