Everyone is worried about AI data centers destroying the planet with their extreme energy needs. Though it seems we have a big learning curve still to make AI inference and training more efficient.

How likely are we to NOT see the AI data center apocalypse through better algorithms?

I don't think this worry is widespread, or even warranted. China has been able to more than double the US in energy production without massive effects on the environment by using nuclear, solar, and hydro.

If anything, the US is massively underproducing.
