Unless it's like, air gapped powered by a naval nuclear reactor, I feel like someone would question why a random US gov building is drawing 20-30MW of power, and exhausting most of that as heat...

Aside from the utility, who would know? There's a lot of land out there, relative to the size of even a very large building.

Not disagreeing with you but how could any building draw power without radiating most of it as heat?

How do you tell the difference between a datacenter and a supercomputer cluster? According to wikipedia, the government data center in Utah is pulling 65 MW.
