and on the first claim that by 2035, "almost all" new data centers will be built in space, what does that imply?

Here's a handy study from LBL on current US (not world) data center usage and power consumption. They note "U.S. data center energy use has continued to grow at an increasing rate, reaching 176 TWh [per year] by 2023" and expect it reach between 300 and 600 TWh by 2028
