The oil industry must be so giddy to have found a new scape goat out of nowhere.

Datacenters take a lot of energy because they serve a lot of people. The impact can be lessened with a proper grid centered around renewable.

There are actual things that are fucking up the planet, individuals using AI, gaming or having a Google account aren't the actual issue.
