Why? Just because the grid is more renewable than ever or something to do with datacenters?
A few years back there's a huge pushback against EV because they're saying the tailpipe emissions is only outsourced to the coal/gas plant, so no point doing that for cleaner air. Now datacenter is using more power than people can imagine, raking up the emission even more than EV. Now you have tailpipe emissions AND the emissions from the excessive power usage of slopcenter.
