They work pretty well; in Europe, data centers are required, if not provided all their own electricity, to generate at least some of it. Solar and wind are top of the list.

Too bad our politicians don’t act in the interest of the public, though, and epecially those in Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent’s (mal)administration. The open hostility to green energy is depressing.
