2000: If we switch to EVs, we can build enough renewable energy to both replace fossils and power the EVs.
2010: Oh, we also need more renewables to give everyone 4K videos. That's tricky but we can do it!
2019: Right, also we need energy for these cool crypto currencies. Totally doable, lemme just double the wind mills.
2023: AI is fun! Sure, we can build new solar panels, but the replacing fossil fuels part can wait a bit. AI surely is the last power hungry tech we'll get, right?
