Hyperbole if I have ever seen it. Absolutely there are specific outliers (x ai) but this is not the norm.

Of the data center rollouts I've been contracted to do safety systems for, ALL of them have gas turbines as part of their power infrastructure on property. They don't solely have gas, but they are mixed Solar/Gas every time.

A few of them in the future pipeline swear they will have nuclear but I don't see that coming to fruition soon.

And is that datacenter bypassing air quality regulation and backing up to a housing development? Most/all of the construction I have tracked meets air quality guidelines and fairly remote but I know that is not always the case!

This is texas, they can't even form regulations that don't different between counties, or figure out zoning laws in Houston.
