Unless it's something on federal land businesses are pretty much ignoring Trump on renewables.

And 300GW power planned doesn't seem too far out of bounds, there are a huge number of 'planned' data centers all over the US.

World wide over 800GW of solar and wind was installed in 2025 and 2026 numbers should be over 1TW of renewables. How much of that will the US install itself is a much smaller percent, but as power prices increase the pace to profit off of it will quicken. I know China installed over 300GW themselves last year.
