Obviously they didn’t want to pay appropriately for the power.
Note that this is not a datacenter, only a new, empty building where somebody had the idea of putting datacenters in.

It just pisses me off that they have all the money in the world for their datacenters but not for the systems that power it

When you think about it like this the fear they have of China makes way more sense. China invested heavily in infrastructure, so they have power leftover that can run all this, while the US is desperate seeking to build datacenters in other countries as they know that the us grid simply can’t handle it.

Maybe the billions can beg, er convince, Trump that we need to use all types of power available, including solar and wind, to get our infrastructure up to par.
