What a crazy clickbait title way to write an article.
The news: Data centers are installing gas turbines to generate electricity from natural gas.
Jet engines are gas turbines. Power generators and jet engines of certain size are just different variations of the same turbine. They can burn jet fuel or natural gas with just light tuning.
For example:
Pratt & Whitney FT4 is aero-derivative from Pratt & Whitney J75/JT4 turbojet.
Rolls-Royce Marine Olympus gas turbine used by many marine vessels is aero-derivative from Rolls-Royce Olympus (Concorde, Aero Vulcan).
