The gas-powered generators are what makes a data center unpleasant to live by.

Hyperbole if I have ever seen it. Absolutely there are specific outliers (x ai) but this is not the norm.

  • Of the data center rollouts I've been contracted to do safety systems for, ALL of them have gas turbines as part of their power infrastructure on property. They don't solely have gas, but they are mixed Solar/Gas every time.

    A few of them in the future pipeline swear they will have nuclear but I don't see that coming to fruition soon.
