The URL says "data center chief" but the article rightly says "data
center lobbyist". As such, one can count on him promoting the position
of maximum economical interest to his lobby, rather than pursuing some
objective truth, as that is the job.

Further down in the article, the EU's position is revealed:

  | Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen argued in a recent interview with
  | POLITICO that data centers are welcome in Europe only if they
  | contribute to the energy transition, including by supporting the
  | deployment of renewable energy and recycling waste heat. The
  | Commission is also developing a sustainability label for data
  | centers based on criteria such as energy efficiency, water use and
  | heat recovery.

Isn't this the right path?

And of course the lobbyist will speak out against this, as it runs
counter to the economical interests of the lobby.

He does raise one true problem though:

  | But Coors said the rollout of renewables, grid expansion plans and
  | next-generation nuclear projects are not moving fast enough to
  | support that growth.

  | That leaves Europe facing the sensitive question of whether it
  | should temporarily rely on gas-fired power to support AI growth
  | while waiting for grids, nuclear reactors and renewable energy
  | storage to catch up.

Admittedly, at least grids do need to catch up.

Best,
Christian
