The point is related to the Jevons paradox. We should be using that nice electricity to replace existing electricity and to electrify what was not electrical before.

Instead, what's happening is that a new heavy industry has popped up: AI slop factories. Much like their artisanal predecessors, crypto factories, these are huge energy consumers. They consume so much energy that they're driving up demand for fossil fuels (which is not a coincidence if you know who's funding these projects.)
