Some of these facilities do generate a significant portion of their own electricity via various means. It's not like that amount of energy is just sitting out there on the grid waiting to be used. Somebody has to generate it and if you're already investing millions in rectifiers, batteries, and other data center power systems, why wouldn't you consider taking it a step further?

    Tell me it’s not gonna be generating power with “portable“ generators that narrowly avoid stricter regulation thanks to the guy who bought Twitter pushing them around the data center parking lot every few months.
