I think one of the silver linings of ai is that when the bubble bursts and/or they are able to develop more efficient models there will be a glut of power, which will make electricification cheaper.
The models themselves are not incredibly expensive power wise for inference its the training that is the real power pig.
Eventually things will slow down as we hit the wall on this tech and people start trying to work around the limitations of it. With all the money in it right now though it might be a while.
