When you think about it like this the fear they have of China makes way more sense. China invested heavily in infrastructure, so they have power leftover that can run all this, while the US is desperate seeking to build datacenters in other countries as they know that the us grid simply can't handle it.
Maybe the billions can beg, er convince, Trump that we need to use all types of power available, including solar and wind, to get our infrastructure up to par.
