Math comparing new datacenter capacity to electric cars -

Projections estimate anywhere between 10GW to 30GW of US datacenter buildup over the next few years

1GW of continuous power can support uniform draw from ~2.6M Tesla Model 3s assuming 12,000 miles per year, 250Wh/mile.

So 26M on the lower end, 80M Model 3s on the upper end.

That's 10x-30x the cumulative number of Model 3s sold so far

And remember all datacenter draw is concentrated. It will disproportionately going to impact regions where they're being built.

We need new, clean power sources yesterday

And an increase in power demand and increased power prices will ensure those wind/solar farms get built.
