Google is big on solar power for its data centers, despite being intermittent. https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-1-6-million-solar-panels-will-power-these-new-data-centres/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-1-6-million-solar-panel... They also have grid connections, of course, so it's no problem if the energy source has frequent downtime. Some data centers are in cities but there are many remote ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prineville%2C_Oregon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prineville%2C_Oregon is a small town with large Apple and Facebook centers. Fusion reactors wouldn't be used just during outages, but for base load, reducing consumption from the grid. They already have this sort of power supply/demand matching to support their solar arrays. Appealing to cost-insensitive early adopters is an excellent way to start. The Tesla roadster is a well-known example. I don't see the absurdity.
