Actually, yes. Generally they have onsite backup generators, UPSs, and enough fuel to run for days while the power company fixes things. But again, you have no idea how resilient most big sites are designed. Google has hundreds, if not thousands, of datacenters world wide. You could take out a few DCs and the site would continue to work. Same goes for all other major sites as well.
Generators need fuel brought TO them and maintenance.
I guess it depends what your level of 'serious' is.
( Not trying to talk shit) I did contingency planning for years and was pretty good at it.
Can we agree that the 'idea' to concentrate on the locations mentioned 'just might' be important?
Sorry no, because you're just not right. I don't want to give away any details about myself, but I'm in tech, and am involved in reliability. The scales that these big companies work at make it impossible to do what you're describing. It would not be effective. Even if you were able to successfully take out one DC, the system is self healing, and all of the traffic would just be distributed to one of the thousands of other DCs they have.

Nevermind a lot of these Data centers are literally built in old nuclear bunkers and whatnot.
