That is what I thought, at first.  That, and the same left-leaning tech
folks who blame cow farts won't see any issue with their AI data centers
eating up power so that Alexa or Siri can give them better answers to
queries about cow farts.

However, that was not actually what the article was about.  I read a few
paragraphs.  I am not an electrical engineer, but apparently living near
one of these data centers puts your local grid at risk, and can also
potentially do damage inside your home.  It has something to do with the
steady wavelengths that the power normally travels in being disrupted.
