  Since you thought not elaborating is a good idea, I take it you want more electricity for: - Bitcoin mining - weapons production - banking infrastructure - making slop TV shows - charging preteen phones - playing Mario cart - heating empty mansions to 27C in winter

    - cheaper electricity price for consumers - less pollution - a more stable grid there, fixed it for you

      From the consumer perspective no ChatGPT with slightly cheaper electricity is a no-no. Like you might be happy about that arrangement, but most won't. You don't have any data to corroborate less AI -> less pollution, especially long term. Same for grid stability.
