Yes, and then you need to have the datacenter. Do you get a permit? How long does it take to build it?
Getting somebody who actually knows how to design and build a data center also seems to be a bit of an issue right now
Simple solution: just put them in space!
Also gas turbines are on backorder until 2029, and new grid connection queues on a similar timescale.

Hence why all the bitcoin miners are cashing in (or trying to) by converting their facilities to datacenters.
