When you are in the fossil fuel sector, there are no rewards for truth-telling - but plenty of rewards for marketing your antiquated technology at a data center industry willing to throw billions at anyone purporting to win on "speed to power."
Frustrated oligarch? Want to make all of your data center dreams come true? Well, how about using old jet engine turbines to create your electricity? Right?! That is why people say you are a genius(at least to your face)
The WSJ says, "Jet engines are a natural fit" for this role.

Temperature is only relevant if the homes are the same. But, even when the temperature outside is 106 F in CA, a well-insulated home with PV, heat pumps & efficient appliances uses 0 grid electricity and sends excess PV to the grid
Far fewer homes in TX have these features, so TX wastes far more

Despite CA having 2x the electricity price as TX, Texans pay 28% more per capita for electricity yearly because TX uses 2.7x the elec per capita as CA (vs 2.1x in 2001, so nothing to do with weather) even with 2 mil more EVs in CA than TX
