Okay, Let go back to math!

420.8 GW is alot of compute... like an ungodly amount. A vera rubin rack is like 220KW.. so 1.9m racks. a rack is 72 GPU's per rack so 420.8GW of power is 137.7M GPU's. So lets say about 60% of the power goes to infra, we get 55.08M GPU's. So, with each GPU costing around 55k, that gives us a final cost of compute for the 420GW is 3.0294 trillion.

Obviously that is not real... Eithier double booked, or fake corps making a bunch of requests from thousand different vectors to resell access.

Also, companies like Base are making a killing off taking all the excess energy generated by wind at Night and selling it back to the grid.

So in final, we can support around a $6T AI buildout in Texas just on our exported Natural Gas alone before we really need to start expanding LNG supply.
