How hard would it be to power all data centers via solar panels attached to batteries?

The area of solar panels needed to power data centers is .. maybe 100x the area of the data center?

Only a tiny percentage of the USA is covered by data centers. Maybe 100 million square meters? That would be something like 0.001%.

Then covering 0.1% of the USA with solar panels could power all data centers.
