I have no problem with new datacenters being built, but if the Fortune article is to be believed, it's that the suddenly tight timeline is due to the rapid increase in need for these facilities.

my post is more about how we really need to be seeking energy sources from all possible corners, and we have a government that is literally paying billions to contractors to cancel wind projects.

The timeline expired 17 years ago. They've been granted numerous extensions. This deadline is neither new nor "suddenly tight". They were granted another extension last year. They're simply informing Liberty there will be no further extensions. If you have to wonder who's wrong: The utility that's been granting extensions for 17 years or the utility that's been missing their deadline for 17 years I think you'll have your answer if you think about it.
