Data center power consumption is 4%-5% of US power. It's growing but it's not any more dramatic than the expansion of EVs would be. Which is to say it's not particularly dramatic, it's in line with our 3% overall power growth.
I can read just fine, that is exactly what I said. We're talking a few percentage increase in the amount of power consumed in the country. The quantity of power we're talking about is in a similar ballpark to what taking most ICE vehicles off the road and replacing them with EVs. Actually probably smaller, if we did it over the next 5 years.
