Burn more fossil fuel to generate more slop. Wonderful!
Also, I somehow doubt that an upstart aerospace company can make more efficient gas turbines than companies with ~sixty years of experience in this space (Siemens, Westinghouse, GE, Mitsubishi).
A quick search indicates that at least Mitsubishi have a 41MW gas turbine generator, with some configurations producing 120MW.
So it AI companies want to power their datacenters with gas turbines, they can just place an order right now. I'd guess it's probably not something they want to deal with, better to offload the risk/cost to the exciting power companies.
But would the responses be any different back then? Energy innovations like battery tech were also looked at critically back then. There's even a template doing the rounds with a checklist for supposedly revolutionary battery tech.
Using a turbine to generate electricity isn't innovative or brave, it's been done, the technology has been around for over a hundred years, but it's not widely used because there's better ways to generate electricity.
There are multiple manufacturers currently making gas turbines that are exactly this size. They’ve been making them for at least 50 years.
This is not brave or innovative, it’s a cash grab during a bubble. You can call a Siemens or GE sales rep and place an order right now for the exact same thing.
