They’re rapidly being converted into generators to meet A.I.’s insatiable demand for electricity. Environmentalists call it a step backward.

Wow this can’t be efficient. Jet engines are primarily designed to produce thrust. But looks like Musk got special permission from the state to pollute more, so all’s good!
Not really, the core of a modern turbofan produces rotational energy to drive the fan, the hot part of the engine produces little to no thrust.
This isn’t something new. Jet engines have been converted to power use for decades because once they are beyond the aircraft service life they are still useful for generating power
