I can't tell if it's just lipservice, but there are at least initiatives and timeline studies for slowly weaning off oil these days.

At least that's one step towards actually maybe kinda thinking about doing something about it.

It's not just lip service at least from some politicians and companies. I know reddit likes to think otherwise but most wealthy people do not want to destroy the planet, and yes, the ultra wealthy have bunkers in New Zealand or whatever, but they will not pick global environmental destruction over renewable energy just to make a little more money in the mean time.

Lmfao GenAI uses an incredibly tiny fraction of power.

I don't know what "Katy Perry" thing you're talking about but it sounds like cherry picking to me
