I don't know if I would want to do too much sniffing around the Methane power they are using over at xAI.

That's definitely a very visible use of carbon generating fuel, but I'd choose methane over coal power plants all day.
I agree 100% if those are the only two options. I guess my point is that it's fair to assume that Elon's crew is doing the bare minimum in terms of efficiency and pollutant mitigation-- at least when compared to other data centers who do legally compliant business with real power companies.
