Take I've seen in the wild from an AI concern troll: power prices and emissions going up is bad, and it's the fault of anti-AI people for overestimating the energy costs. This is also why we need nuclear power, because it's the only way to cut into the profits of fossil fuel companies.

i'm all in for banning ai dc buildout until they build all the required nuclear powerplants
