Well that's actually the same thing as you're proposing.
And "no reasonable person is going to accept" okay... sometimes you have to accept reality. I don't know what to tell you, or venture capitalists.
We don't have the power, and we won't for a while. Using polluting dirty fossil fuel generators is not a solution, and plainly should not be allowed. Of course the current US administration is incredibly pro-pollution, so they don't care. But we should. It's you and I who will be consuming these pollutants and its you and I's health on the line. Donald Trump will be dead any day now, of course he doesn't care.

Yes, if grid operators drag their feet companies will try to end-run them, but the solution isn't banning data centers it's making it easier to add proper capacity to the grid and requiring builders to add power in a place where it can be useful for everyone. I'm not a fan of watching gas turbines sprout across the country but I'm also not a fan of seeing a bunch of NIMBYs waste the opportunity to tax hundreds of billions of dollars of investments. This isn't some pie-in-the-sky idea, VA is great at speeding up and taxing data center construction.
