AFAIK many datacenters try to build their own generators/powerplants. Also datacenters are at one location, not sparsely around.

    What do the datacenter's generators/powerplants run on?

    In all probability diesel or natural gas.

    That makes it worse. Feeding a little more electricity spread across many locations puts a much smaller strain on the grid than trying to feed a huge amount to one location.
