    What?

    AI is the excuse to burn more fossil fuels.

    If it was just about AI, it could be used as an excuse to build up renewables.

    What I meant was if the excuse wasn’t AI, it would be something else for the excuse.

    The current admin (and trump if he wins) neither have any desire to cut back on fossil fuels. It’s one of the few things propping up “the economy” which is why Biden is shattering the domestic fossil fuel production records that trump just set a few years ago.

        I’m sorry, I just don’t seem to follow these train of comments.

        Each reply just seems kind of random and not related to what I’m saying.

          AI is not an excuse to burn fossil fuels. AI exploded and it’s energy consumption exploded, there’s lots of data to back it up. You’re saying if not for AI there would be some other excuse. What excuse would that he? Would fossil fuel industry have to invent something that would consume this much energy?

            AI is not an excuse to burn fossil fuels

            AI is not a valid reasons to burn more fossil fuels

            It is definitely being used as an excuse to do so.

            And if it wasnt, something else would be.

            I’m sorry if I’m still not explaining that in a clear way, but I don’t think we’re going to resolve this at this point if it still isn’t.
