“it’s cancelling a major natural gas plant meant to power its “Project Jupiter” facility in New Mexico. … Instead, the company is partnering with Bloom Energy, a company which produces [solid oxide fuel cells](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/solid-oxide-fuel-cell), which convert chemical energy directly into electricity without combustion.”
I’d like to point out this still consumes methane and creates CO2 emissions. The lack of a combustion process is only helpful in that it cuts SOx/NOx emissions.
This still promotes fossil fuel extraction and huge greenhouse gas emissions and should be made illegal. No data center should run on anything except renewable energy.

An easy fix would be requiring that by law to use renewable energy.
