In Texas a lot of natural gas is wasted/burned away as it is not profitable to collect and transport it from all oil fields. These days quite a few places put small turbines to generate electricity to do cryptocurrency mining.
This will serve a similar use case just on a bigger scale.
I have also heard about deployment of inference (LLMs etc) instead of crypto at these gas turbines. If you already have internet there, why not I guess.
