Even if we decided to stop all these and curtail datacenter power usage in other ways, decarbonising is certainly going to require increased electricity generation. Most oil and gas usage will be replaced with electrical alternatives. As the oil and gas burning applications are mostly quite inefficient, luckily we don't need to do 1:1 replacement of the chemical energy of fossil fuels. Still it seems unavoidable that in the future there will be more electricity generation rather than less.
