This seems like an outrage optimized article and headline. I would expect them to utilize and build power sources in this context,i.e. not compete with citizen power and potentially cheapen electricity.
Do you see any credible evidence of that? Above anything, corporations get high off their own farts when they do anything good-will adjacent. If they planned on meeting the demand for power, a huge corporate production would be made of it.
