WRONG NUMBERS: The claim states that data center power consumption is approximately 40 TWh/year, but the source says it is about 200 TWh/year. WRONG NUMBERS: The claim states that data center power consumption is projected to reach 945 TWh by 2030, but the source does not provide this specific number. It only states that data center power demand will grow 160% by 2030. MISLEADING PARAPHRASE: The claim mentions investment in dedicated power generation, including nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs), natural gas plants, and large-scale solar/battery installations. The source only mentions that tech firms are expected to underwrite new renewables and commercialize emerging nuclear generation capabilities.
