    I don’t know why we’re blaming AI when it’s power generation not transitioning fast enough that’s the problem…

    If wind, solar, nuclear was widely available this would be a non issue.

      Energy conservation has been part of that messaging. Running appliances and low peak times etc. All of that is out the window for AI.

      Energy conservation is the dumbest thing we have ever talked about. For prosperity and well being, electricity should be cheap and plentiful. It’s pollution and greenhouse gases that need to be curtailed. Another mixed up policy mess of messaging, and it is being unravelled by AI.

      Clean electricity should be so cheap that every other option isnt feasible. Instead, it’s talk conservation, reducing wealth and quality of life.
