As always John, thanks for your thorough reading and thoughtful comment.

You’re absolutely right that AI is reshaping more than just energy demand — it's transforming entire industries, and that transformation comes with a heavy cost. While DeepSeek's model might seem like a victory for efficiency, the real challenge lies in managing the exponential growth it triggers. It’s not just about whether AI consumes more energy; it's about how quickly the systems we rely on can adapt.
