Announced data centers hit 342GW vs 50GW installed, implying $26.3T in spend

Per Eaton's conference remarks, announced data center projects grew from 307GW at Q2 earnings to 342GW within a month — versus only 50GW currently installed, a 6-7x buildout ahead. Most of it won't convert to 2027-28 revenue; it's a longer cycle. Commenter hassankhan runs the math: 350GW at $75B/GW implies $26.3T in total spend, a number worth questioning.
