There was always something that was going to prevent this, they never seriously wanted it to happen, that would hurt fossil fuel donations to politicians

I like conspiracy theories like an average bloke does but have you seen quarterly reports from big tech? Their energy consumption and costs are skyrocketing. Are they in cahoots with big oil coal?

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.
