    I understand Microsoft using so much power since they have tons of data centers… but why Google? Do they possibly have as many as Microsoft?

      They are also in Virginia in Energy Park Drive, Leesburg, VA, USA, but they tend to not put big banners on them. It is surprisingly difficult to google Google data centers
