So... 35GW, is nowhere near 1% of global energy consumption. We're currently producing and consuming about 20TW. 1% is 0.2TW, or 200GW. So it's 0.175% if it's 7, and 0.125% if it's 5. And considering there's already a 2.5GW datacenter (aws northern virginia) and a number of 1GW ones, it's less of a jump than you might think. That being said... The infrastructure to supply 5GW per site isn't likely to exist. So that's going to have to be built. That's an investment for sure but also quite risky since the AI boom as it stands could pop at any moment and then that infrastructure isn't just a wasted investment, but it'll literally be detrimental to the grid in the area. So IMO, they should either have a completely seperate energy production off grid that supplies their needs (not likely), or they should be paying up front for their expected energy for a number of years as determined basically by how long it would take to fix the grid if they go away. Large consumers already pay some of that cost for a couple of years ahead. But that should be way WAY extended for cases like this.
