SpaceX plans to construct a foundry in Bastrop, Texas, to cast critical natural gas turbine blades and vanes, cutting deployment time by up to 18 months amid global backlogs. This supports massive AI data centers like the Terafab chip fab in Grimes County, Texas, which will rely on on-site gas turbines and batteries for stable power.
While racing to scale solar to 100 gigawatts yearly with Tesla, Musk views gas as a key bridge, using SpaceX's rocket expertise to vertically integrate and bypass supply constraints.
