1GW is around 6,000 cars.
There are probably twice that in the community complaining...
Also the stat is from GE Vernova, they make the generators used.
If you really want to argue without having the flex and bend to grasp at straws, just go with the noise argument, it actually is annoying to people nearby.

About 10,000
Close enough!

How do you figure?
my only argument here is that there isn't really any reason to avoid going through an emissions review if required. or to require that scrubbers be installed if necessary. the decision to just make an exception to the process for datacenters is more of a political statement about deregulation than anything else.
