SpaceX to power new Texas chip plant with natural gas and large batteries, skipping solar energy.

SpaceX announced plans to build natural gas power plants and large battery arrays to supply electricity for its new Terafab semiconductor factory in Texas, without using solar power despite Tesla's involvement. The factory, costing an estimated $16.8 billion in its initial phase, aims to produce chips for SpaceX and its AI subsidiary xAI. This move aligns with Elon Musk's recent focus on natural gas, as seen in other projects like xAI data centers and recent acquisitions. The project benefits from significant tax abatements and incentives from Texas, reflecting the state's growing role in 'bring your own power' data centers amid rising natural gas power plant costs and environmental concerns.
