> The US does not use crude oil from the Gulf to generate electricity.

And yet, reserves are at historic lows. Markets are weird, huh?

> Rivers will not be drying up because of data centers.

That wasn't the claim made, rivers will be drying up because of climate change (they are already!), which is a threat to energy supply. Data centers will accelerate said climate change, but that's not even relevant to disprove your previous assertion of regulation being the only factor.

I'll also note you still haven't justified your core ideological assertion you tried smuggling in earlier in any way.
