Gas makes up 40% of planned power there, 24% nationwide

23.2 GW of new power plants are planned in AI data-center counties. A plant in the same county does not mean it feeds the data center: a plant sells into its grid, and this data does not say who buys its power. A planned date can move, and a planned plant can be cancelled.
