Old jet engines power data centers amid grid delays

Data center builders are now using retired jet engines to generate electricity, a workaround for the years-long wait to connect to the grid and receive new turbines. This approach is less efficient and less environmentally friendly than conventional options, according to reports. The engines, once discarded, are being repurposed to meet urgent power demands.

How would you weigh the trade-offs between speed and sustainability in powering new tech?
