Let's discuss the energy requirements behind AI, and its future

It strikes me as odd that we discuss AI so enthusiastically without any real acknowledgement of the energy requirement behind it. Training models requires an insane amount of energy for the end result we currently get, not to mention how much more energy intensive a single request can cost compared to a google search for example. Anything short of these companies building their own personal nuclear power plants, im not clear on how this is sustainable for the long term, assuming you believe in global warming. Or am i missing something? Thoughts?
