Did they think what would happen if the gas price goes up and their profitability is completely dependent on that?

Right? That’s my thing, look at airlines and their Razer thin margins. They just built this megastructure and can’t operate any of it without completely depending on gas prices.

Even without the green aspects no one stopped to think about the return on investment of layering the entire place in solar? 5 years from now? 20?

But can you imagine if the datacenters also hoarded all the solar panel production capacity through 2028?

Although we would benefit from the dirt cheap panels from the bankruptcy auctions, while almost nobody has use for hbm memory chips
