So AI data centers are being built powered with renewable energy, right?
One rarely builds a dedicated power plant for a single building. It is more efficient to build large power plants for general use and use cable to transmit the electricity to where it is needed.
That didn't answer by question at all, I suspect because you couldn't think of way to twist running new gas turbine generators specifically to power these monstrosities into a good thing.
I could see that you were lacking some important background information, so I helped you out. Anything else you need?
You're not fooling anyone lol
