The problem is that diesel prime generation is like paying 25c/kWH for electricity.

This depends entirely on the configuration. Making a diesel generator quiet is a hell of a lot easier than making a gas turbine quiet.
Okay, now, just for fun, run the numbers for a diesel-powered data center in space.
