They buy power plants and run it themselves. It improves reliability. For example, Google owns its own solar and wind farms.

People are downvoting because they want to hate AI. And hating AI is valid. There are many reasons not to like AI. Environmental and power reasons are not one of them.

Can we stop with the AI misinformation? AI is not slurping up consumer power. All major tech companies use privately generated, non-consumer power.

Bitcoin is still causing these power grid issues. It has been since 2019.
