Microsoft announced an off-grid data center with 1.35 GW of Nvidia chips. It will be in West Virginia and it will run 100% on natural gas. They say that "The campus is being designed with local and environmental resources in mind" also "pursuing carbon sequestration to offset emissions". Yes, sure.
