					<description><![CDATA[Data center developers are turning to behind-the-meter natural gas generation as grid interconnection delays now exceed five years, making traditional utility connections commercially unworkable for AI-scale (hyperscale) facilities. Natural gas turbines and engines provide continuous, dispatchable baseload power that unreliable renewables cannot deliver at the required scale and reliability. However, this shift transforms data centers...]]></description>

Expensive states, like those in New England, suffer from distorting policies: Renewable Portfolio Standards, carbon capping, and net metering.
