I currently figure, because of the energy - heat and supply - problems, AI should only be powered by "green energy." Otherwise, the AI frenzy will continue until it and many related activities slam into a wall.

I doubt id AI could be powered completely by “green energy” but if it is going to affect commercial electricity prices & in particular consumer prices, then someone needs to put a stop to this. Many places are already paying heavy prices for electricity & there is not so much a need for AI that we need to let this happen. What might happen next if some other geniuses come up with an industry that uses a vast amount of electricity? Tell AI users to do one of two things; either produce their own electricity or forget AI, which some are already questioning the use of it anyway. I feel I can do without Ai if it means a higher light bill. There is nothing I know about AI that produces any particular benefit to me.
