"Nearly 100,000 MW of natural-gas fired power are currently in development to power data centers in U.S."

to
"More natural gas-fired generation being developed to power US data centers than California's entire generating capacity
from all sources combined"

I'm guessing "100,000 MW" is an entirely meaningless number to most everybody, so they don't even click on it. Hopefully the new title -- with some sense of the scale of it, will be more meaningful.
