The facility, announced Monday, will generate about three gigawatts of power using a natural gas pipeline and aims to support U.S. AI companies and national defense.
O'Leary emphasizes the center's independence from local power grids, addressing community concerns over energy strain and costs, while potentially supplying excess power back to the grid.
