What will be powering all these data centers? The thought of exponentially increasing our fossil fuel consumption scares the hell out of me.

Texas is the leading state in new grid batteries and grid solar for three years now. Also Governor Abbott deregulated nuclear last year. Sure there will be some new natural gas too, which is the least scary fossil fuel. They call it the "all of the above" approach to energy.
