If they could find the power for the data centers, why can’t we find it for EVs?

But they didn’t find power for data centres. That’s one of their problems.

So there's no new capacity that went online for the new build-outs? None of that could've been used for residential capacity?

Sure there is. But some of the datacenters individually use as much power as an entire city.

When you're trying to build out dozens or hundreds of those across the country, there's no way we can ramp up capacity at that rate.

That's exactly my point. I'd rather have those built outs to power entire cities.
