Why not build solar?

Solar power and other renewables are, by nature, decentralized. A single solar array won’t be able to cover the needs of a data center during the night or on a cloudy day either. But much more importantly: While there is obviously big players in renewables, they don’t produce oligarchs in the same way fossil fuels do. Power likes to make deals with power, because together they reach new heights of exploitation.

That requires investment, planning, management, extra land for the amount of panels needed etc. Using fossil fuels is easy and compact. You just bring a bunch of engine powered generators and pump the fuel.
