Fine, an exaggeration but not off by much.

If the Box Elder datacenter were a state it'd rank #19 in terms of power consumption (78 TWh).

It is correct to say these massive data centers will represent a significant percentage of US power consumption when built out.

Okay. And? Data centers are aggregating the demand of nationwide consumption. They’re big because that’s what it takes to be efficient.

Attacking them for size is a bit like saying that freight trains are bad because they’re heavy.
