"The downside is the noise the neighbors would need to endure from gas turbines running 24/7. How loud is a turbine plant from a couple hundred yards away?"

I'm sure that is rhetorical question,but there are utube vids that interview close-by neighbors of data centers, in Georgia and Texas, if memory is correct. The DC's put out a perpetual noise that is loud enough to be a problem. One neighbor said they wore earplugs inside their home. The decibel level was measured, and it was a problem.

I would not trust anything coming out of the Trump admin as far as
forcing the DC's to generate their own power. 1 well placed
"contribution" to some Trump coins would surely end that requirement.

I did not watch 1 second of Trump and his sotu. Can't stand
listening to his perpetual victimhood,and can't stand people buying into his obvious bs.
