The article mentions that the state is currently home to 257 data centers. Just one thing to note in case you aren't aware: That's not exclusively AI datacenters and there is a massive difference in power draw and pollution between regular data centers and the AI counterpart.

    Yeah, it would be nice to have some accurate figures about how many AI datacenters currently exist (preferably worldwide by country) and how many are on the drawing board (most of which will never be build thankfully).

    But I guess the inaccurate information is all part of the deliberate obfuscation from the hyperscalers.
