As a highly proximate example, any models run on Oracle Cloud in Chicago would have been very very close to carbon-free in 2024 (as 96% of the actual grid consumption in Northern Illinois was supplied by fission, with wind and solar also present). Most hyperscale data centers are in regions with a significant surplus of carbon free generation.
