AI competition and deregulation in the United States have caused "pop-up" data centers to be created like mushrooms in the rain, and energy for them is largely produced with fossil fuels. Other resources, such as water, are also consumed in shocking amounts.
So remember that if you rely dominantly on agent infrastructure, it will come at the expense of basic human resources, and you will destroy the planet for future generations. Appealing to the economy is irrational, because the economy is always ultimately a virtual issue and a matter of contract.
Nvidia's hardware is quite bad in terms of energy use in terms of environmental specs, because it's half a graphics card, and not just for inference etc. designed. Only Google (maybe someone else) has energy efficiency in order, because they produce an ASIC designed for the purpose, the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU).
Tech is not problem, humans are once again. E.g., my use of inference in my sample browser pakki is probably example of such case as it runs smart sample search just fine on my X390 ThinkPad :-)
