If we build a terawatt of green energy capacity then turn around and immediately use it for datacenters rather than to replace fossil fuel generation, we haven’t gained anything. If anything we’ve lost out.

Personally I prefer a livable climate and affordable power over yet another datacenter for AI or mining crypto.
